Leaving Clemson? Manage your ArcGIS Online Content
What happens to your ArcGIS Online Account once you leave Clemson?
STUDENTS: As a student, you have one year grace period during which your Clemson account is active. Therefore, you can still have access to ArcGIS Online account as long as you have your Clemson account (the same account you use to login to iRoar, Eduroam, etc.).
STAFF and FACULTY: As an employee (staff or faculty), you will no longer have access to your Clemson University account. Therefore, you will not be able login to Clemson University ArcGIS Online organization.
EMERITUS FACULTY: Retired faculty who are part of the Emeritus College are eligible to have their account extended indefinitely.
What should you do with your content before leaving?
Although your access will end, your ArcGIS Online content will not be immediately deleted. However, all content will be permanently deleted two years after your Clemson account is deactivated. We strongly encourage you to manage your content in advance. You have the following options:
OPTION 1: MOVE Your Important Content to a Public or New ArcGIS Online Account
Use this option if you want to retain access to your content via ArcGIS Public Account or another organization account via ArcGIS Assistant. To begin the transfer process, check out this user guide.
OPTION 2: TRANSFER Your Important Content to Another Clemson User
This option is ideal if someone at Clemson will continue using your content (e.g., a colleague or supervisor). In AGOL, go to the Item details page, and click on Change owner.
OPTION 3: ARCHIVE Content in Clemson’s Official ArcGIS Online Repository
Choose this if you want your work (e.g., StoryMaps, web maps) to remain visible within the Clemson organization, even if not editable. To request archiving, email ccgt@clemson.edu with:
-
Your full name and Clemson email address
-
A list of content/folders to archive
OPTION 4: DOWNLOAD An Item as a Backup
Download a copy of an online item locally. Not all item types can be backed-up in a reusable way, such as interactive content; however, the critical information in such items can be backed up.
Additionally: DELETE Unneeded Content
Help us maintain a clean ArcGIS Online by deleting content (layers, maps, StoryMaps, etc.) that you no longer need. Refer to Esri’s instructions for deleting items.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to ccgt@clemson.edu.
