Before You Leave Your Current Duty Station
1. Send Information Awareness Training Certification and Computer User Agreement to New Supervisor
All DoDEA employees must complete the Information Assurance (IA) Awareness Training and the Computer User Agreement (Form 6600.1-F1) as prerequisites to accessing the IT systems at their new work location. If you have a current IA training certificate, you are not required to re-take the training. E-mail copies of the Completion Certificate and the Computer User Form to your supervisor at least two weeks before your start date at your new duty station.

2. Cancel Local Subscriptions, Utilities, and Update Address
A PCS move can be a stressful time, and it is easy to overlook some of the more basic tasks as you move forward. Take time to make a list of items that will need to be cancelled or updated. For example, this may include cancelling or forwarding credit cards, newspapers, online subscriptions, and utilities, to name a few. These entities will all need to be notified that you have moved.
3. Submit a Help Desk ticket to prepare for data migration: CURRENT EMPLOYEES ONLY
To ensure that e-mails and other important data are transferred to your new location, it is important to notify IT through a Help Desk ticket through the Global Service Desk. Please complete this action approximately 10 days before your last work day at your current location to give IT sufficient time to prepare. Please contact your local IT Specialist with any questions.
4. Military Deposits: As Applicable
Current employees paying a military deposit and transitioning between two different payroll databases (e.g., overseas and stateside) must provide information to their Customer Service Representative (CSR) or Financial Technician to ensure that the deposit payments can continue in the new payroll database. If you have any questions, please contact a CSR/Financial Technician.
5. Change of Address Form: CURRENT EMPLOYEES ONLY
To ensure that payroll-related information is forwarded appropriately, complete the Change of Address Form and submit it to your current HR/Payroll office before you leave your current duty station. If you have any questions, please contact your local HR/Payroll office.
