Check-out Form
You will receive a graduate student check-out form from the office prior to your last date of work. For CIF, this means we will remove your key card access to the labs after your last day of employment. Please let us know when we sign your check out form if you need access to labs until a certain date.
Instrument Accounts
The login privileges established for you on the various instruments will be removed. This will happen quite quickly. You should not count on being able to log on to instruments after you submit your check-out form.
Data File Access
We may remove locally saved files on instrument computers shortly after signing your final date of employment. If you have a large amount of data you would like to back up, you are welcome to bring an external hard drive to the lab and we can transfer the data to your personal device. This may take a few hours depending on how much data you have.
Data archived in the CIF Research Cloud will be preserved indefinitely (at least 10 years) so that your major professor and other members of your research group will continue to have access to it.
