Tenure Earning/Probationary and Tenured/Continuing Faculty and Staff Network ID Information

When is the NMU User ID created?
The NMU Network User ID is created once the appropriate employment documentation is entered into the Human Resources system, but no more than 30 days prior to the effective date of employment.
 
What happens when a person resigns or is terminated from employment at NMU?
The NMU Network User ID becomes “expired” on the employment end date.  The “expired” status lasts for one year. During this window, the individual can receive/send email; and can access MyNMU (including payroll information), MyUser network account information, and EduCat.
 
The individual cannot register devices on the network and does not have access to network services such as VPN.  Any previously registered devices are automatically de-registered.
 
What happens to an “expired” account after one year?
After one year, an expired account becomes “disabled.”  A disabled account has no network access, cannot receive/send email, and cannot register devices on the network. 

What if an employee retires from NMU? 
The person must first meet the NMU definition of a retiree (years of service + age ≥ 70).   Upon the retirement date, the NMU User ID and account are set to “retiree” status and the account stays active.  The individual can receive/send email, can use network services such as VPN and dial-up access, and can register devices for the network.  Note:  Spouses and surviving spouses are not eligible for these services.
 
What happens if an account is locked (e.g. password expired, spam activity, password recovery errors, password reset)?
The employee can access account information using MyUser to find out the reason for the lock.  In most circumstances the user can take appropriate action and unlock the account. 
 
What happens if an employee has his/her account disabled?
If an NMU Network User ID and account are disabled due to a violation of the Acceptable Use Policy, the employee must work with the appropriate supervisor(s) and/or Human Resources to resolve the situation.
 
Where can a person get additional help regarding computing resources?

Notes:  Individuals with Personal Services contracts are not considered to be NMU employees.
