Computer accounts for individuals not employed by UofL

use this form to Sponsor Computer Accounts 

 https://ulservices.louisville.edu/jira/servicedesk/customer/portal/4/create/342

 This electronic form is used to request computer accounts for two types of individuals:

  • Individuals who are directly affiliated with the University of Louisville such as Student Assistants, non-enrolled students and Board of Trustee members who may or may not be listed in the University's database
  • Individuals who are external to the University but have a relationship with a University unit for business or research purposes

 

This electronic form is used to describe the relationship between the affiliated or external individual and the University of Louisville unit that wishes to utilize the

University's computing and communication facilities in support of University interests.

We are unable to sponsor accounts for library database access only! Any requests for that will be denied.

***Update to IT Sponsored Account Policy*** 

Information Technology recently updated the sponsored account policy. Sponsored accounts may be requested for individuals not employed by the University of Louisville but with a valid business or academic relationship requiring an account (email, Blackboard, wireless, and/or virtual private network).
Updates to the policy include:

  • Accounts can only be sponsored by a full-time university employed Unit Business Manager, the designated Tier I for the unit, the department chair, vice president or dean (or their designee). 
  • The request must include the specific purpose of the sponsorship – business or academic.


Requests may not be submitted for a family member.

The Sponsored Accounts policy (ISO PS020) is available for review on the Information Security Office web site.

***************************************

The computer account passwords for the sponsored accounts will be sent via e-mail to the sponsor who can then distribute them to the sponsored individuals.

This request will be reviewed for appropriateness. Therefore, a week turnaround time should be expected. A six month renewal is performed for all sponsored accounts, unless indicated otherwise below. If the sponsored account is no longer needed prior to the six-month expiration, please send an e-mail note to ASKSAMIT and request the sponsored account be closed.
