Paid emeritus are eligible for the same ITS Help Desk support that is provided to current faculty/staff. 

Retirees and unpaid emeritus are eligible for ITS Help Desk support for their HawkID, Duo, and Office 365 email accounts (only through Outlook on the web - browser-based email access).

Personal devices are generally not supported for retirees, unpaid emeritus, or paid emeritus except for UI-specific services (e.g., Duo, Outlook, etc.)  We are not able to directly work on or repair personal devices.

As a University of Iowa retiree, unpaid emeritus, or paid emeritus, your HawkID will remain active to allow you to access various services and computer discounts (see below for more information). Therefore, ITS recommends that you continue to update your HawkID password when you are notified that it will expire. 

Resetting Your Own Password

If you know your current HawkID password, you can use the Change Password Tool here: https://apps.its.uiowa.edu/pwtool/change.

If you don't know your current HawkID password or if it has already expired, you can use the Reset Password Tool here: https://apps.its.uiowa.edu/pwtool/reset.

If neither of the above options works for you, you can also call the ITS Help Desk and an agent can reset your password over the phone. The Help Desk can be reached at 319-384-4357 during our business hours.

Note: Once you (retire/leave your university position), you’ll retain access to Employee Self-Service for a limited time. In most cases, you’ll have access for one year after you were last paid. This lets you access your W-2 and other information for tax-filing purposes.

For more information about Employee Self-Service access, contact the ITS Help Desk.

When you retire from the UI, you can either switch your email to route to a personal email account or you can keep your Office 365 Account.  See My Office 365 Email Account is Closing - What Should I Do Checklist for information on updating moving email, email subscriptions, transferring ownership of shared accounts, opting out of massmail, etc.
 

Change your Routing Address to a Personal Account

You can change your routing address to a personal email account (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo – all free email services). This allows you to continue to receive email sent to your UI email address (firstname-lastname@uiowa.edu) and limits the number of email accounts you need to check after retirement. More details on changing your routing address can be found here.  Be sure to go through the My Office 365 Email Account is Closing - What Should I Do Checklist document before changing your routing address.

Note: If you need to update your routing address after your access to HR Self-Service has ended, you can contact the ITS Help Desk to have that done for you.

Information on moving email from your University account to a personal account can be found at Moving Email From O365 to an Alternate Email Account
