Each month, the Division of IT hi-lights a service provided to the campus. This month’s service is:
Accounts for Guests to Access Administrative Resources
The Division of IT creates and maintains Active Directory accounts which provide access to university computing resources such as computers, email, wireless network, files, printers, and more.
Eligibility
- Guests, Consultants and Aramark Employees
- Student Workers
- Graduate Assistants (Non-Teaching and Non-Lab)
- Non-Person (A generic account for the Baseball Program, for example)
- Depending on the type of access being requested, other compliance documents (such as FERPA agreements, volunteer forms, or contracts) might be required.
- IT system access is valid for a maximum of one year and must be renewed if access is needed beyond that time.
