Student Employees - Information Technology Access
Overview
Student employees may need specialized access to work within your department. A form to request access for student work study employees can be found online within Human Resources Forms: Information Technology Access Request
When to complete an Access Request Form
This form is needed to request student employee access for:
- Department network shares with Personal Identifiable Information (PII), sensitive information, confidential business data
- Computer restrictions by time/location
- Banner Production
- Other specialized department systems
This form is not needed to:
- Access department network shares ending in _ws
- Note: These shares should not contain PII, sensitive or confidential data
- Continue a current student employee’s access to the next semester. A helpdesk request can be submitted prior to access expiration (see below)
Note: Access expires at semester’s end (Dec., May, Aug.). Continuation of access may be requested without resubmitting the form by contacting the Helpdesk prior to expiration. |
