This page provides technology guidance for students, faculty, and staff who are leaving MKA.
Please follow all of the instructions below for securing your data and signing out of all accounts prior to returning your MKA-issued laptop, charger (two chargers for faculty/staff), and iPad (faculty only). All data will be erased from your device(s) after it is returned.
Your various MKA accounts will be discontinued. This includes Google Workspace for Education, @mka.org email, Veracross, NoodleTools, and Turnitin. See below for more information about how to handle your data in these accounts.
We STRONGLY encourage you to identify any other personal accounts that use your @mka.org email address (including uses as alternate or recovery email addresses) and to change those email addresses.
Those needing assistance transitioning the data to a new device should schedule a time with a member of the technology department prior to the 2024-2025 DUE DATES.

MANAGING YOUR VARIOUS MKA ACCOUNTS
There are three options for moving your school "Google" data:
- Manually download or copy data
- Download individual files from Google Drive to your new device
- Save individual emails as PDF files OR forward them to another email account
- You can copy your data from your school account to a personal Google account.
- Allows you to copy email and documents in your Drive to a personal Google account. Directions for this option can be found here.
- Download your data using Google Takeout.
- Allows you to download larger amounts and various types of content at the same time (e.g., multiple Google Drive files, Gmail, Calendar events).
- When downloading data from Google Drive, you will need to choose the file type. For example, you can download Google Docs as Microsoft Word files and Google Sheets as Microsoft Excel files.
Your MKA NoodleTools account will be deleted at the end of June.
If you have work in NoodleTools that you would like to continue to be able to access after MKA, here is what you need to do:
- Sign up for a new individual subscription at http://noodle.to/taketocollege
- Log out of the new account and then log in to your MKA account.
- On the Projects screen, mark the checkboxes next to any projects that you wish to transfer, then click the "Copy" button at the top of the list of projects.
- On the next screen, choose the option to "Copy to another user's folder" and fill in the Personal ID you selected for your individual subscription (note: if other users have the same ID, you may be prompted here to select which folder you want to copy your projects into — be sure to select the "Individual subscription" option from the dropdown list in that case). Your projects will be copied over to your new folder, where you can continue working on them.
If you attempt to move your projects after July 31, when you no longer have access to your MKA account, please submit a support ticket to NoodleTools. Provide your old and new personal IDs and they will copy the projects for you.
Turnitin classes will also expire so if you want to save any papers, please download them from Turnitin before June 30.
