University accounts are issued to support the university’s mission of teaching, research, and public service, its administrative functions, and student and campus life activities. Accounts are issued to individuals based on their primary role at the university and provide the ability to access the University’s technology resources including, but not limited to, computer systems, email, and networks.

See full detailed information on the Account Lifecycle Policy.
