Sponsor a computing account for an IU affiliate

Overview

Individuals who are not students, faculty, or staff, but who are affiliated with IU (for example, contracted employees or consultants) may be eligible for an account as an IU affiliate. These accounts must be sponsored by a full-time IU faculty or staff member. For details about account eligibility, see Eligibility to Use Information Technology Resources (IT-03) .

Affiliate accounts are not intended for:

  • Those who will later become IU students, faculty, or staff. These individuals must wait to create their accounts until they are admitted or their records are entered into the relevant IU system (such as the Human Resources office).
  • Those who simply need parking, door access, and a picture ID while performing duties on campus. These individuals can be designated as having "Affiliate" status in the CrimsonCard system without having a sponsored IU Affiliate account.

Information you will need about the affiliate

  • Full name (first, middle, and last)
  • University ID (If known)
  • Campus: The specific IU campus where the affiliate needs accounts
  • Date of birth
  • External email
  • Department with which the person is affiliated
  • Campus address
  • Affiliation with IU: If affiliation is not listed, choose Other - Please Explain
  • Date affiliation with IU begins (Affiliate access to accounts is not available until this date.)
  • Date affiliation with IU expires
  • Reason for affiliation with IU: A description of how the person is affiliated with IU. Also, if there is a grant or contract on file, include it here.

Note:

Under Indiana University's Eligibility to Use Information Technology Resources (IT-03) :

Sponsors of accounts should weigh the risks of an affiliated user causing harm through inappropriate use of IU information technology resources against the benefits of the user having access. Sponsors are responsible for taking steps to reduce the likelihood of inappropriate use (including appropriate user training). Additionally, prior to requesting the account, the sponsor and the person being sponsored should have a written agreement defining the terms of the affiliation relationship. Any written agreement must comply with university policy Signature Authority and Delegation (FIN-TRE-100). Sponsors should consult with their department or unit on how best to document the user's affiliation with and responsibilities to both IU and the sponsor's department or unit.
