Graduates, back up before you pack up

With all the end of year commencement activities, we want to remind upcoming graduates to please backup your data.

Excitement is in the air – graduation is near! With all the end of year commencement activities, we want to remind upcoming graduates to please back up your data. 

Graduates will be able to keep their Google Workspace account, including email, for life. However, only registered students are eligible to keep their access to Microsoft Office ProPlus and Box. 

So, once you leave UCLA, your Office ProPlus and Box accounts will be deactivated. At expiration, the Office applications enter a reduced-functionality mode, which means documents can be viewed, but it isn't possible to edit or create new documents.  

For Box, avoid losing your files by converting your UCLA Box account to a personal Box account. Send an email request to help@it.ucla.edu to transfer data ownership. Please see our Box Service Eligibility guidelines for more information.

Any questions? We’re here to help! Contact us at (310) 267-4357 or help@it.ucla.edu.
