Sponsored Individual Accounts

To Create an Account for a Sponsored Individual

Some examples of sponsored individuals include (but are not limited to):

    Visiting or volunteer Faculty
    Summer groups such as IPF or Upward Bound
    Vendors or Contractors
    Temporary or other workers not paid by HR/Payroll

A sponsored individual MUST be sponsored by a current faculty or staff member.  Sponsored individual accounts are limited in duration and the resources they have access to.  

• Sponsored Individual Accounts will no longer be listed in the Global Address List in Outlook.
  
  • This change is permanent and no exceptions can be made.
  • Sponsored individuals will still be listed in AMI, please search AMI when looking for a user who may have a sponsored individual account.
• Sponsored Individual Accounts will no longer receive the full Office 365 experience, they will receive mailbox and calendar access only.
  
  • This means sponsored individuals will not be able to use OneDrive for Business, Yammer, Office Online, Skype for Business, and any other Office 365 service that isn't Mail or Calendar.

Responsibilities as a Sponsor

As the sponsor of a sponsored individual account you are responsible for ensuring that it is used in accordance with all applicable university policies, including the Fair and Acceptable Use Policy.  Failure to do so may result in loss of network or account privileges.

As a sponsor you are also responsible for ensuring that the account is only active while it is needed by your sponsored individual.  Approximately one week before a sponsored individual account expires, you as the sponsor will get an email notifying you of the pending expiration and giving you the option of extending it for up to one year. 

You may contact the Service Desk at 402-280-1111 or 800-329-1011 for further assistance.
