New Employee Onboarding

Overview

This service is used to request the onboarding of a new UFV employee. A UFV computer account will be set up that allows access to the UFV network files and email, on campus and remotely. Computer equipment, software, and mobile device procurement and licensing for new employees are also requested using this service.

Initial access to a UFV computer account is setup by the IT Service Desk and may take up to 5 business days during peak volume periods. Hardware, mobile device, and software procurement may take longer than 5 days, depending on stock and supply chain availability.

This service is to be used for all new UFV employees including Type C, D (auxiliary), and Continuing Education employees. 

NOTE: For student workers (i.e., co-ops), use the Student Limited Access to UFV Networks & Computers service.  For external contractors (vendors, non-UFV employees, Fraser Valley India employees), use the Contractor Limited Access to UFV Networks & Computers service. For department transfers or role changes for existing employees, use the Employee Department Transfer / Role Change service.
