About sponsored accounts for conference participants at IU

Conference accounts are for participants of IU-sponsored conferences, workshops, or special programs who need access to secure IU-owned computing resources, such as the wired IU network, the Student Technology Centers (STCs), or network printing services. Conference accounts are for temporary use (typically days or weeks, less than a semester) and then they expire; extensions are not available. Conference accounts are not personal accounts; see IU account types and abilities.

Conference accounts must be sponsored by a full-time faculty or staff member, and must be approved by UITS Accounts Administration. For more, see About conference use of the STCs.

To sponsor Conference accounts:

1. Go to Manage your conference accounts
2. Click set up conference accounts.
3. Enter the requested information about the conference and the resources your conference guests will need. Click Continue.

Once the Support Center Accounts Administration team has processed your request, you will receive notification of the account usernames and passphrases available to your conference attendees. If you experience any problems requesting accounts, email Support Center Accounts Administration. (If you have questions about any aspect of Conference account use other than requesting accounts, contact STC Help.)
