For visitor/outreach, guest accounts
To ensure things are ready when people arrive, we ask that one week notice be given.
For creating accounts we need the following information:
- First name
- Last name
- Dates the account will be need to be active for
- The type of account, see above.
- The name of the faculty host or the conference/outreach event they are attending

The timeline for the creation of accounts for persons on University payroll, is at least 2 weeks. Until payroll paperwork is filled, things are out of our hands. All we can do is nag the people that create the account.
