What does "sponsorship" mean?
Sponsorship is the term used by ITS when a full time employee
agrees the sponsoree has legitimate work or academic reason to
have a UI account. If the account is used for any purpose that
violates the UI computer use policy, ITS will work with the
"sponsor" concerning issues about the account.
How do I sponsor an account for someone?
The sponsor will need to send an e-mail from their official
University of Idaho e-mail account
to the Help Desk with the following information:
-
The sponsor’s Vandal ID Number
-
The Vandal ID Number of the person they would like to
sponsor or information for a Vandal ID Number to be created
(name, address, date of birth and alternate email address)
-
The reason for sponsorship
-
How long the sponsorship will last
How long does the sponsorship last?
Sponsored accounts for the University of Idaho can have any
expiration date with up to 1 year at maximum.
Sponsorship can be renewed by the sponsor as needed at anytime
(including removing sponsorship or decreasing the sponsorship
timeframe).
How do you renew or change sponsorship?
A sponsor can renew or modify sponsorship for an account in two different ways:
- By logging on to account management on
the e-support site at
support.uidaho.edu and then clicking on the link
titled “Extend Account Expiration”
- Or by contacting the ITS Help Desk
through e-mail from their official University of Idaho
e-mail account, fax, or campus mail a memo stating that the
account sponsorship needs to be extended and how long the
extension is needed.
How do I reset the password on a sponsored account?
The sponsor may request a temporary password be set for an
account they sponsor by contacting the ITS Help Desk at
helpdesk@uidaho.edu or
208-885-HELP (4357). |
