Notes
- Each semester starts the first day of classes for the semester and lasts through the day prior to the start of classes for the next term.
- If a student drops all their classes for a semester without a grade, they are not considered registered for that term as of the day after dropping their last class.
- The student username generated for accessing the services outlined in this policy will be the same for accessing all services requiring a username.
- Student eligibility for services will be evaluated and services discontinued as appropriate during Fall and Winter semesters, except for Campus Recreation/Ryder Center access, which is evaluated daily. For eligibility purposes, students who have an incomplete or missing grade from one of the previous 4 semesters will be considered as registered for the current semester, except for Campus Recreation/Ryder Center access.
- Immediate revocation of access to Campus Recreation/Ryder Center is controlled by tagging the user accordingly in the Fusion recreation management software. This tagging overrides any access triggered by communications from the Colleague ERP system.
- Delta students in SVSU housing are granted access like registered SVSU students within 24 hours of being tagged as such in the Technology Access System and retain access to these services until within 24 hours after having their tag removed. Auxiliary Services communicates activations and deactivations to IT Services.
- Individuals who are participating in a course via a “Listener Permit” and need access to technology services, will be handled manually not via the automated routines which enforce this policy. Individuals in this category will be granted access to the network, email, and LMS, (not mySVSU), for the semester to which the course applies, normally within 5 business days of submitting the completed Listeners Permit form to the Campus Financial Services Center. The individual will be contacted by IT Services when access setup is complete.
- Students requiring special consideration for access to services that they would otherwise lose eligibility for based on this policy, may request such consideration via the Office of the Registrar. The Office of the Registrar has the capability to extend services by using a term override code to allow the student to retain services until the term specified is reached. If the student does not register for the term specified, the student will lose eligibility that term. This does not apply to TheCard and Campus Recreation/Ryder Center access services.
- Students wanting to change their username due to a legal name change, need to complete and submit a Student Data Change form to the Registrar’s Office. The username change will be processed as soon as possible.
- Alumni who do not have access to SVSU email services may request access by contacting the Alumni Relations Office. Alumni may retain access to a SVSU email and LMS services indefinitely. In addition to degree attaining students, College of Education certification graduates and endorsement recipients are considered as alumni (see the Alumni Email Policy for details).
