Use of facilities by ex members of staff

The position with respect to the use of ISS facilities and services by ex members of staff (whether retired or resigned) is as follows.

Emeritus Professors, and other holders of honorary positions, are members of the University and thus are entitled to receive the services of ISS.

All other ex-staff are not entitled to use ISS facilities, nor benefit from University software deals, nor use networking facilities, with these two exceptions:

  • Ex-staff who get written support from the current head of their old department because of their continued academic activity may continue to use ISS facilities, only. However they cannot benefit from software agreements, nor use JANET, since they are no longer formally members of the University.
  • Any individual may apply for a personal sponsored JANET connection that allows the continued use of JANET. This would only be granted if the use was in relationship with academic activity, and there is a charge. In view of the proliferation of ISPs, this option is unlikely to be attractive except in so far as it might allow continuity of address.
