Sites and Software
Ensure all sites, accounts, services and subscriptions are no longer tied to your @stolaf.edu address, either as the primary email or the recovery email.
This may include networking, social media, education or financial sites and services, such as:
WordPress: for WordPress sites that you manage, please make sure that your successor, co-worker, or other person who will be managing the site after you leave, is setup as an Administrator on the site.
Zotero - to keep your Zotero account and Zotero library, visit https://libraryguides.stolaf.edu/c.php?g=93021&p=8852637
Google Groups (formerly email aliases / mailing lists)
If you are the owner of a Google Group, please transfer ownership via groups.google.com
Google Drive: Transferring Ownership of Files
To transfer ownership of your Google drive/files to another St. Olaf user, please follow the steps at support.google.com/drive/answer/2494892
NOTE: Google Apps for Education will only allow you to reassign ownership of docs to other users in the St. Olaf domain. If you need to move files to a personal account, you will need to do a Google Workspace Migration (see below).
Google Workspace Migration
To have your files, emails, calendars, and contacts quickly and securely copied to your personal Google account, you can use a paid service called VaultMe for a small fee. Visit VaultMe to learn more about this option.
- Click on the orange "Try VaultMe Now" button.
- Select Copy or Migrate From and choose the Google Workspace option.
- Sign in to Google with your St. Olaf account credentials.
- Sign in to your personal Google account and select preferences (email only, docs you own, docs shared with you, Drive files and folder in trash, calendar, contacts/contact groups, etc)
- Enter payment information, and select Confirm & Go.
