Closing an account

For as long as you have a valid UCInetID and you use your account it remains active. When you separate from UCI your UCInetID will become inactive some time after the separation.

The accounts are closed when:

  1. An account has no activity for 1 year.

  2. Once your UCInetID loses student status your HPC3 account will be closed. Most student alumni keep student status for up to 1 year after the graduation.

  3. When your UCInetID loses staff/researcher/PI affiliation, your account will be closed.
