ArcGIS Online

Alumni Access

Access to Brandeis ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS StoryMaps, and other Esri products is restricted to current Brandeis students, faculty, and staff. Our licensing agreement does not cover alumni access so you will lose access to ArcGIS products upon graduation.

Account Deactivation Process

When your ArcGIS account is deactivated, you will lose your ability to sign-in to the software, so you will no longer be able to update your content. Our current practice is to deactivate accounts without deleting user content, so any content that's saved in your Brandeis ArcGIS Online account will remain in your account after deactivation, with a few exceptions (see below). Content that's publicly shared will continue to be accessible to non-Brandeis viewers after your account is deactivated.
 

Content and accounts that may be deleted on a case-by-case basis

• We cannot host extremely large files for former Brandeis affiliates since the ongoing file hosting will negatively impact our available ArcGIS fileshare and pool of service credits. As such, we may need to remove these files from our site.
• Learn ArcGIS tutorials, test files, etc. may be deleted from alumni accounts as needed.
• ArcGIS Online groups with no active Brandeis members are periodically removed from our system, but all of the content that's shared to these groups will continue to be stored in group members' deactivated ArcGIS Online accounts.
• We also reserve the right to delete inactive legacy ArcGIS user accounts (accounts created pre-2018).
   

How to Retain Access to your ArcGIS content

If you would like to retain editing access to your ArcGIS Online content after leaving Brandeis, you will need to transfer your content to a non-Brandeis account (or a collaborator's account). You can contact our GIS Librarian if you need assistance migrating content to a new account or if you need to bulk update the sharing permissions for your content.

Move Content to a Personal Account

You can create a free, public ArcGIS Online account (personal or developer) or pay for personal subscription to retain access to the full capabilities of the software. Once you've created a separate account, you can use the following tools to transfer content to your new account.
