Leaving the University

Access to OneDrive at the University of Arkansas is revoked when a UARK account is closed. When leaving the university, make sure to transfer ownership of files and switch your OneDrive account to a personal email address.

If a collaborator who has shared files with you leaves the university and you can no longer access the files, contact other known collaborators to see if they can reconnect you with the files. If you are still unable to access the files, submit a Request to retrieve work files owned by a user who is no longer with the university.
