Annual account renewal
Student groups must maintain current registration with the Student Activities Office. If a group does not register with the Student Activities Office by the end of December each year, e-mail and internet accounts will be closed. SAO sends out a warning letter before accounts are closed.
Account restrictions
Student group accounts are not allowed direct access to the University of Minnesota modem pool or to the restricted database services provided by the University Library system. Individual students or staff must use their personal usernames and passwords to gain access to these services.
Student group usernames and passwords should not be used for chatting on IRC (Internet Relay Chat). Any account that is found connected to IRC will be closed immediately.
