Retaining access to your data when leaving VU Amsterdam

If you want to retain access to your OSF Projects after leaving VU Amsterdam, you can create a new OSF account with a personal email address and merge it with your institutional account (see the OSF Guide). Make sure to do this before your VUnetID expires.

If your VUnetID has already expired, you can still create a new OSF account and ask a Project Admin to re-add you to your Projects.

If your VUnetID has expired and you are the only Project Admin please contact OSF Support.

Deleting your account

You can deactivate or delete your OSF account at any time. To permanently delete your account and personal data, please contact OSF Support.
