Congratulations on your upcoming graduation from Calvin! Listed below is information regarding your Novell account and your e-mail and Webpub accounts.

What will happen to my accounts?
Your Novell account and your StudentMail/Webpub account will be available until October 1. At midnight on October 1st your accounts (along with all associated files and e-mails) will be deleted from our servers. This means:
- You will not have access to files stored in your Novell account.
- You will not be able to check, receive, or forward your Calvin e-mail.
- Your personal Web page, and any other files stored in your accounts, will be deleted.
What do I need to do prior to October 1?
Transfer or save all files in your Novell account to another location. We suggest burning your files to CD-Rom or copying them to a USB harddrive.
Archive or back up any old e-mail you want to keep.
Obtain another e-mail account. If you do not have an account through an employer, we suggest using a free e-mail account such as Hotmail (www.hotmail.com), Gmail, Yahoo (www.yahoo.com).
Send out a notice of e-mail address change, since all correspondence to your Calvin e-mail account will result in a mail delivery failure notice to the sender after October 1.
Between graduation to October 1st, you may want to set up your uKnight account.
Unsubscribe from any non-Calvin listservs/mailing lists you have joined from your Calvin e-mail account.
What computer resources are available to me after I graduate?
To support some of your post-graduation activities, Calvin College provides limited access to some of our computing resources.
- The Hekman Library Digital Resource Center has computers available for Internet research.
- The Career Resource Center (Hekman Library) has computers available for work on résumés, graduate school applications, and other career-related uses.
- The ITC has designated computer stations that can be used by alumni for personal needs (such as résumés, letters, etc...), but not for business purposes or for outside organizations. Specific usage policies are located at each station.
- There are infoXpress (Web access) stations located in common areas around campus.
