Student and Resident Technology Offboarding
Prior to leaving RSDM, students and residents should take steps to ensure that they backup any data to which they must retain access after separation.
Rutgers Connect (Microsoft 365)
Students that no longer hold an active role at the university will immediately lose access to all Rutgers Connect (Microsoft 365) services including email, OneDrive, and OneNote.
Email – We recommend that you migrate this data to a personal email address or a Scarlet Mail address.
Microsoft OneDrive – We recommend that you migrate this data to another storage device (flash drive, hard drive) or cloud storage service.
Microsoft OneNote – Notes stored in Microsoft OneNote can be exported as a PDF. To do so, open the print dialog box (CTRL+P), select Print > Microsoft Print to PDF and select Page > Current Notebook. After selecting Print, choose a location in which the PDF will be saved.
Note that depending on the size of your notebook, this process may take several minute to complete.
Student Issued Devices (Dell XPS or Microsoft Surface)
Prior to leaving RSDM, students in possession of a student issued device (Dell XPS or Microsoft Surface), must turn their device over to RSDM IT. During this time we will wipe your device and install a clean copy of Windows 10, a process known as re-imaging. Once this process has been completed your device will no longer be associated with the school and you will be responsible for managing and supporting the system.
The re-imaging process will require that all data stored on the device be deleted. We recommend that you migrate this data to another storage device (flash drive, hard drive) or cloud storage service. Check for files and documents that may reside on your local drive. Some common locations to check include your Desktop, Documents, and Downloads folders.
Vendor support may be available from Dell or Microsoft if your device’s warranty has not yet expired.
To initiate the re-imaging process, schedule an appointment with RSDM IT.
