CSAIL accounts for certain classes of users—students, visitors, affiliates, guests, alumni, and certain temporary employees—automatically expire at the end of every fiscal year (specifically, at midnight UTC on July 1, which is 8 PM on June 30 local time here in Cambridge).

Users who have changed PIs should notify help@csail.mit.edu of the name of the new PI and the name of the new research group so that their account can be updated. Notifications to PIs and supervisors are sent out annually at the beginning of June (usually the first business day). Users whose accounts are not renewed receive a notification email on or around July 1. Users’ accounts must be renewed or reactivated by their PI, supervisor, or CSAIL Human Resources. TIG CANNOT RENEW USER ACCOUNTS. Users may send individual reminders to their PI or supervisor to renew or reactivate their account, which can be done at inquir.csail.mit.edu/users/INSERT CAPITALIZED USERNAME (Some users have unusual expiration dates set by their supervisors and will not receive any notifications.)
