All department accounts must be sponsored by the head of the department.
To create an account for a department, follow these steps:
- Complete and print the Department Account Application. If your browser is set up to display PDF files, you can complete the form online before printing it.
Note: The form you complete is an interactive PDF file. You can complete it online, then print and sign it. Or, you can print it, complete it by hand, and sign it. In either case, you will need the free Acrobat Reader.
- The department sponsor should submit on BU letterhead the proposed use of the account.
- Include a list of those who will have access to the account and authorization to change the password.
- Have a first and second choice of desired login name.
Note: Do not publish or publicize your department's login name until it has been confirmed by OIT. It can cause a lot of confusion and expense if for some reason the login name you've chosen is not available or usable.
- Applications must have supervisor's or department head's signature.
- You can fax both the application and letter. The fax number is 617-353-6260.
- You will be called to come in to establish the password when the application has been approved and the computer account created.
Note: You must notify the Front Office Assistant Manager at Information Technology when a user who is using the departmental account leaves or when someone is added. The department staff member responsible for the account password must change the password to the computer account anytime a user who has access to the account leaves.
