Accounts may be assigned to individuals not permanently affiliated with Southern Connecticut State University in support of activities directly associated with University functions. A current full-time faculty or appointed staff member must identify himself or herself as the sponsor or contact related to the individual's activities while they are at the University. When requesting or renewing the account, this "sponsor" will provide information stating their relationship to the individual, outlining the individual's affiliation/benefit to SCSU, and an indication that they understand their responsibilities related to the use of the individual account.

Account Administrators will make the initial determination regarding eligibility of an individual to receive an SCSU account. Cases where eligibility is unclear will be passed to the Chief Information Officer for review and approval.

Affiliate accounts must be renewed every six months. Accounts Administrators will retain all documentation related to computer accounts while the account is active, and for 1 year following the point at which the individual is no longer associated with SCSU.

To apply, fill out the Affiliate Account Request Form and submit the form to OIT Help Desk. Please allow at least two weeks for processing. Once the accounts are created, the sponsor will be notified of the access procedures.
