Why are we issuing approved Emeritus new eServices accounts? 

Data breaches occur on a daily basis, originating from both within and outside of higher education institutions. They can cost millions of dollars to attempt to resolve and a nearly unimaginable amount of damage to the reputation of an institution.  

As an institution of Higher Education operating in New York State, The State University of New York at Fredonia (“Fredonia”) is committed to securing and protecting the information within its possession and complying with all required Federal, State, and Local regulatory requirements. Such requirements include but are not limited to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-171, NIST 800-53, and SUNY Procedures 6900. These requirements define and provide guidance on how best to classify and protect electronic identities and digital assets. 

To meet the various above-listed security regulations, Fredonia, like many public and private higher education institutions, is required to take additional security steps in protecting access to systems and services used to store private (category II) and restricted data (category III). These measures will help protect Fredonia’s electronic assets and reduce the chance of private or restricted data loss while supporting the open, information-sharing needs of our academic culture while upholding the Emeritus agreement quantified in HARP.

What should I expect when the University issues me a new eServices account?

  • 30 days prior to the date of official separation, ITS will create new eServices account using the following format:

 <first initial><middle initial><last name> eServices name… Example: Sally Jessica Smith = sjsmith@fredonia.edu 

NOTE: the above-referenced format is not guaranteed as there may be issues with the email address already in use by another user.

How is my Emeritus status going to impact my eServices account?

  • Emeritus will need to continue to protect their eServices account with Multi-factor Authentication. For assistance, please contact the ITS Service Center (716) 673-3407 or its.servicecenter@fredonia.edu.
  • Emeritus will need to remove any University regulated data from their email, Google Drive and U-Drive that they no longer have a business need to access.
Warning
IMPORTANT: It is critical that users Emeritus do not maintain access to University Category II or III data after they no longer have been issued a new eServices account. a business need for it. DO NOT forward messages or download content that contains Category II or III data to personal email or Emeritus email accounts or storage locations (e.g. cloud storage services, USB drives, etc.). Please review the Data Risk Classification Policy for examples of University Category II or III data. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the suspension of your Emeritus privileges and would constitute unauthorized access to University-owned regulated data.

What is considered “personal” data (e.g. email messages, documents, etc.)?

“Personal data” is considered any media (messages, documents, pictures, etc.) that are owned by you and is not University-owned Category II - Private or Category III - Restricted data. Data that is considered “faculty owned” such as “creative work, research, or intellectual property” that does not contain University-owned Category II - Private or Category III - Restricted data is considered personal data.

How long does the University keep the contents of my old account after the new account has been issued?

The University will disable the old account after 30 days from the effective date of separation and then delete the account and its content after 6 months from the date it was disabled.

Does the University offer me the ability to use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) with my new email account? 

Yes, all Emeritus must use the campus-provided Duo MFA service to protect the new account. 

How do I prepare to transfer my personal data to my new account?
