   icon false title Need to Change Organization or Department Account Ownership
   If you leave your department or change roles within Rice, remember to shift the ownership of your previous course/org/dept accounts to the new account owner. This can be done by contacting the Help Desk. If you find yourself in the position of having to take over ownership of a course/org/dept account that has not been managed recently, you will have to request ownership of the account(s). Send a request to the Help Desk (helpdesk@rice.edu) and ask that the account ownership be changed. CC the current or previous owner of the account, if known to verify transfer of ownership. If the current or previous owner of the account is not known, CC the department administrator to verify transfer of ownership.

 If the client is not the current owner of an ORGANIZATION or DEPARTMENTAL account, but
should be, submit an RT ticket requesting that ownership be changed, and CC the current
owner of the account, if known, for verification and approval to transfer ownership.
