Steps to follow if you're leaving The Media School
Please follow this check-list to make your departure stress-free.
Where to start
Begin by scheduling your move-out day with the director of human resources and employee experience, Rebecca Stanze. When your move-out date arrives, you will return all university keys, the laptop or computer purchased by The Media School for your use, and any other equipment or property purchased on your behalf by the school or using your research account.
Prior to moving out, please remove all personal items from your office, disposing of them as necessary. Large trash and recycling bins are available near all offices.Please plan to provide your own moving supplies (boxes, tape, etc.). Unless otherwise agreed upon, The Media School cannot ship or store office items on your behalf.
Materials with historical value
If you have materials that might be of interest to the University Archives, which collects items documenting Indiana University's origins and development and the activities and achievements of its officers, faculty, students and alumni, please contact the archivists of University Archives to schedule a consultation regarding your material.
Shredding
There is a locked shred box located in the Franklin Hall mailroom and the RTV supply/printer room (RTV 339). Please dispose of all paper containing sensitive information in one of these locations.
Books
Faculty book collections may be of interest to students and other Media School employees. You can make books available by placing them in the Franklin Hall commons or outside your office with a “Free” sign. However, you must dispose of any materials not taken by others prior to your move-out date. Books may be donated to local organizations such as the Monroe County Public Library Friends of the Library Bookstore or the Hoosier Hills Food Bank Book Sale.
Transferring files
If you need assistance removing files from your computer or your university storage accounts, please submit a CITRIS/UITS ticket well in advance of moving day. Providing your devices serial number or IU service tag number can sometimes speed the process along. By turning in your computer, you are authorizing UITS to wipe the hard drive clean of all files.
If you are storing Media School administrative files on OneDrive or Teams associated with your individual IU account, please make sure those are transferred to an institutional storage location that ensures records can be accessed in the future. A CITRIS/UITS ticket can help with that process.
