Student Limited Access to UFV Network & Computers

Overview

Student limited accounts are employee accounts with limited access. These will be provisioned for student workers on contract with UFV e.g. co-op, work study, general student worker or practicum student. Student volunteers will not be provisioned UFV employee accounts. These limited accounts exclude some of the standard account accesses that the IT Service Desk grants when provisioning regular employee accounts and the requesting department agrees to these limitations upon submitting requests.

Access to UFV networks and computers will be granted on an as needed basis and the requester will need to specify what is required.  Approval from the Manager, Service Delivery is required prior to provisioning the account and the request for approval will be submitted automatically when the form is submitted.

Note: HR requires student accounts to be identified as such. Display names on student accounts will indicate type of student worker, as well as email signatures are also required to include this information (e.g. Service Desk Analyst, Co-op).
