Sponsoring Visiting Staff or Students
If your department has visiting or affiliated students, staff, academic staff or faculty members or any other short-term employees and you would like the individual to have a U Card, your department must sponsor that individual by submitting the online sponsored account application form found on the sponsored account web page to formalize the sponsorship.
If you have questions about the definition of an official appointment
for staff or faculty, please seek the advice of Human Resources in your department.
How do I participate in the online sponsored account process?
Please read through all of the following information before linking to the Departmentally Sponsored Account page.
Step 1: go to the Departmentally Sponsored Accounts page (see link below).
Step 2: complete the online Sponsored Internet Account Application form. Make sure you use the correct spelling of the applicant's legal name, especially if you are not entering a Social Security Number.
Step 3: click the submit request button at the bottom of the online Sponsored Internet Account Application form page.
Please be diligent when entering information on the online form. Since a department sponsored individual does not receive an emplID, it is important for you to complete the entire online form accurately using the correct spelling of the applicant’s legal name. Completing the entire online form accurately will ensure the U Card office can verify the individual’s record when they arrive at our office to obtain their U Card.
The U Card Office will grant a one-year term for U Card eligibility. At the end of each fiscal year, we will request departmental verification of an individual’s continued status. |
