UBITName Deactivation
You have a 10-month appointment
Your UBITName activation is tied directly to your appointment. Your account is automatically deactivated when your appointment ends.
You can request an extension through your department
Contact an administrative staff member in your department. The administrative staff member must communicate the following to CIT:
- Your name

- Your UBITName
The administrative staff member can send this information:
- cit-accounts@buffalo.edu from either his or her UBITName@buffalo.edu or departmental email address, or
- FAX the information on departmental letterhead to (716) 645-3617
The extension request must come from a departmental administrative staff member.
Why did I get a deactivation notice?
Deactivation notices are sent automatically when you are no longer affiliated with the University at Buffalo.
Confirming your affiliation
CIT does not determine your affiliation with the University. To confirm your affiliation:
- Students: contact the Student Response Center
- Faculty, staff, and volunteers: contact Human Resources
Changes made by the Student Response Center or Human Services take at least one day to be transmitted to CIT.
If you believe you received the notice in error, please contact the CIT Help Desk (645-3542).
When your UBITName is deactivated you will no longer be able to use your account.
The UBITName policy has a more detailed description of services and conditions.
