Active Student Status
Students are considered active when enrolled in courses. Access is granted two weeks before the start of their enrolled semester.
Access to most Michigan Tech-related systems and services will be cut off two (2) weeks after a student is no longer considered an active student. For regular semesters, this is two (2) weeks after the last day of finals. Email, Experience, and Canvas access will continue until the next semester.
Appeals
Suspended or dismissed students retain email access only until the appeal filing period ends.

Home drives (H:)
Home drive (H:) contents are removed 120 days after you are no longer a student.
Google Drive and Photos
Access to Google Drive and Google Photos expires 120 days after you’re no longer a student. The contents of these folders are erased at that time. See our knowledge base article on Google's options for downloading or transferring your data.
You will still be able to access the Gmail app, but when you visit a Google Drive app, such as Drive, Sheets, or Docs, you may see a message similar to, "We are sorry, but you do not have access to Google [app]. Please contact your Organization Administrator for access."
