Backing Up BOL Related Data

This page will assist users in backing up their BOL data. Users no longer affiliated with UCLA as a student, staff, or faculty member will lose access to all BOL services, including email, dial-up, proxy, access to BOL-licensed software, and other features once they leave the university.

Please note that once your access to BOL services is deactivated, all associated data will be PERMANENTLY DELETED. This includes your mailbox, addressbook, and any personal web pages hosted by BOL. Any new mail sent to your BOL email account will be returned to sender as undeliverable.
