Information technology resources

Email information: Office 365 account

Eligibility for your UI email account will end two years after graduation. If you continue to take courses, your account closes two years after completion of your last class. If you are employed at the university, your account will remain open.Several notifications will be sent before the account closes to provide time to create a new account elsewhere and move messages you want to keep.

If you no longer wish to use your Office 365 account after graduation, you should contact the ITS Help Desk to have it closed. Prior to having the account closed, you will want to save all of your files from your OneDrive cloud storage and forward on any email you wish to keep.

If you have questions, please call the ITS Help Desk at 319-384-4357 or e-mail its-helpdesk@uiowa.edu.

How to move emails from your UI account to an alternate email account: Here is a link explaining how you can move/copy your emails from your Office 365 account to an alternative email account: http://its.uiowa.edu/support/article/102567.

Information Technology Services (ITS)

ITS provides a wide variety of computing services to students, faculty, and staff.

Instructional Technology Centers (ITCs) provide students with campus-wide access to the University's academic computing resources, and to encourage departments to integrate computing into their academic programs. ITCs are located in 26 locations on campus, comprising a network of over 1000 workstations available for student use. Wherever you are on the University of Iowa campus, there is an ITC nearby to meet your technology needs!

The Statistics ITC, located in 41 Schaeffer Hall, has 28 Windows desktop computers, which are available to students, faculty and staff who have a Hawk ID.

CLAS Linux Group

In addition, we have computer support from the College of Liberal Arts with the CLAS Linux Group. They provide a stable, secure, productive computer environment that allows the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences to achieve its educational, research and administrative needs. This includes the basic network infrastructure and computing environment for the state of the art Linux workstations used in labs, faculty offices or research projects. Supported services include managed Linux loads, file services (including backup), college and personal web hosting, public printers, DNS, DHCP, and a hot disaster recovery site for core services.

The goal of the team is to improve the quality of education and research through out the College by working together with faculty and staff to maximize the availability of core network services and provide exceptional Linux & research support.

The services they support can be found on the CLAS Linux Group site.

The UNIX (Linux) Lab, located in 346 Schaeffer Hall and supported by the CLAS Linux Group, provides an up-to-date learning experience for departmental majors and students who have UNIX accounts. In the lab, students can use powerful graphic-oriented computational software on UNIX workstations to explore statistical concepts. Any CLAS user can create a Linux account that will remain active until the user leaves the University.
