In rare circumstances, "Group" accounts (that is, those assigned to and used by members of an organization) will be created 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 person responsible for management of and use of the account. When requesting or renewing the account, this "sponsor" will provide information stating their relationship to the group, outlining the group's membership and affiliation/benefit to Southern Connecticut State University, and an indication that they understand their responsibilities related to the use of the group account. To be eligible for a group account, all members of the group must be eligible for SCSU computer accounts. Group accounts for student organizations must be sponsored by the appropriate faculty advisors.

Group accounts must be renewed annually. Accounts Administrators will retain all documentation related to group accounts while the account is active, and for 1 year following the point where the organization having a group account has been dissolved.

To apply, fill out the Group 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.
