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:
NOTE: the above-referenced format is not guaranteed as there may be issues with the email address already in use by another user.
ITS will securely communicate the new username and password to Emeritus. The Emeritus will need to reset the password upon receiving it.
The Emeritus will have a period of 30 days to forward ONLY personal emails, personal google files (docs, sheets, slides, etc.), or correspondence to the new eServices account.
After 30 days, your email addresses (firstname.lastname@fredonia.edu and username@fredonia.edu) will be modified to point to your new eServices email account. At this time, your old eServices account will be disabled and retained for 6 months. After 6 months, your old email account and contents will be permanently deleted.
Any personal files or folders located on your existing U:\ drive should be saved to your Google drive in your new account.
IMPORTANT: It is critical that users do not maintain access to University Category II or III data after they have been issued a new eServices account. 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?
You should start preparing to transition your account as soon as you know that you are going to retire. Coordinate with your supervisor to determine when and which messages you should forward to another employee or department account. If you are the officially designated contact for any vendor or service contract, please reach out to your business contacts as soon as practicable to refer them to the newly designated person. You should not maintain contact with businesses or entities (non-personal) in any official capacity after your retirement.
Search for and label your personal mail to transfer to the new account.
Log on to Gmail and organize your personal messages in labels. If you need to perform a search on all mail in your account, do the following:
Go to the Inbox and drop down the search window
Enter the search criteria for messages that you want to find in the “Has the words” field
Make sure “All mail” is selected in the Search field and press the Search button
When the search is complete, label all hits by dropping down the select window and clicking all. With all messages selected, select the Label icon and choose a label that contains only personal messages or create a new label if necessary.
If you have files that need to be made accessible to your department or office, create a Shared drive(s) and move those files to the shared folders, adding members to the drive to give them access as necessary.
A shared drive is a shared space where: Members of a shared drive share ownership of any files and folders. If someone leaves the shared drive, any files they added will stay. You can still share files with a link or invite.
You can share, search, and organize files in shared drives like your own files in your Drive.
You can move files into shared drives the same way you would in your own Drive. You may not be able to move files owned by other people.
When you share files with someone outside of your shared drive, they can find the files under "Shared with me."
If a file is saved in a shared drive, you can't organize it in more than one folder.

Click on the links in the message to download your exported data files. Most likely you will have multiple zip files that you will need to unzip to access the folders containing your content. Your content will be saved in individual folders depending on the services you requested to export. You will have one week to retrieve your archive(s).
Now that you have the MBOX file created, downloaded, and extracted, you need to download Mozilla Thunderbird and the ImportExportTools add-on to process the MBOX file. This will allow importing the MBOX to Gmail or extracting to a local folder.
Once Thunderbird is installed, navigate to Tools > Add-Ons to install the ImportExportTools add-on. If you don’t see the Tools menu, hit the ALT button on the keyboard to display it.
Once you are in the Add-Ons screen, click Extensions and search for the “ImportExportTools” add-on. Click to install it in Thunderbird.
The Add-On installation will restart Thunderbird once completed.
After Thunderbird restarts, create a new folder in your Local Folders node.
Now right-click choose ImportExportTools > Import mbox file.
The Files mbox import dialog box opens. Here you choose the import way. For importing directly to a folder you have created, select the first option, Import directly one or more mbox files works. There are various other options here to handle the import of the MBOX files that may be useful as well.
Browse to the location where you extracted the downloaded MBOX file that was unzipped and choose it.
After choosing the downloaded and extracted MBOX file, you will see the emails downloaded from Gmail appear in your folder created.
Click Select file from your computer and select the file you exported. The file should end in ".ics".
Choose which calendar to add the imported events to. By default, events will be imported into your primary calendar.
Click Import.
If you have a .zip file, find it on your computer and open it. You'll find .ics files for each of your calendars. Take the individual files out of the .zip file, and import each .ics file individually.
Notes:
Imported events won't stay in sync between your two accounts.
When you import an event, guests and conference data for that event are not imported.
Next to "Site name," enter a name for the new site.
At the top, click Copy.
You now have 2 copies of the site. You or the original owner can delete the site at the old web address so there’s only one site.
After you transfer your data, it is important that you refrain from using your old account for personal communications or to store personal documents. These will remain in your old account and will not be transferred unless you do the process again.
All calendars included" button and make sure that only your personal calendar is selected
