After 90 day the College disables your SSO login credentials.  Your remote access to library databases and other services provided by IT, including email, Canvas, Zoom etc. will be discontinued.  Remote access to library resources such as your iShare Account and databases is tied to the Microsoft Office 365 SSO login you use to access your @colum.edu email, Canvas, Zoom etc. You will retain that access for 90 days after Spring Graduation. If you graduate at the end of the Fall Term, you retain access until 90 days after the next Spring Graduation. During this time you will be able to access all Library Services you were able to as an enrolled student. 

For more information on this process, consult https://students.colum.edu/information-technology/students and select the "STUDENT SOFTWARE ACCESS" tab. 

First, we at the library wish you didn't lose access, but unfortunately the decision isn't just up to us. We have purchased access to our databases from vendors with licensing that only permits current Columbia students, faculty, and staff to remotely access the information they contain. 

Why does this information cost so much and why is it only available through certain vendors? Great question! The Right to Research Coalition provides an overview.
