Account Lifespan
- Your account does NOT need to be renewed from semester to semester. All your personal files and data will carry over. After graduation, our policy is to leave accounts alone unless they are inactive for several years thereafter. There is always the possibility that this policy can change in the future, but it's generally safe to assume that you can keep your account even after you graduate.
