The ASR team account of LucidChart will expire on Tuesday, October 31. At this time, Central OIT is not supporting an enterprise-wide license of Lucid, so you will be downgraded to a free EDU license. All registrants with a .edu email address and employer of a college/university will automatically be registered for a free EDU account.
In preparation for this change, we recommended you download/export any documents you want to preserve as a back-up. If you have a business need to maintain an EDU Premium account, talk to your supervisor.
You will still be able to create documents, import from/export to Visio, and have advanced shape library access as part of the free EDU license. What you will lose as part of the premium license is your ability to collaborate with other users on a shared document. See the list of features that differ between the free and paid accounts.

What is ASR Central?
