Active Students
Student Active Directory accounts remain active as long as the student maintains credit enrollment at Des Moines Area Community College.
Student information will be kept a minimum 12 months from the end of the last semester attended. Students who are not registered for any classes after the 12 month period and are not a DMACC employee will have their information deleted.
Returning Students
Students registering for credit classes after being deleted will be re-created in Active Directory as a new user account. This process can take 1-2 business days after re-applying or re-registering for a credit class.
