All UWSP student employees are required to receive and use a DIMS-created Student Staff account for all UWSP employment-related work and access, including but not limited to:
- Electronic-lock access to work-related buildings, rooms, and key tenders.
- All sign-ins to employment-related UWSP computers, either assigned or shared.
- Department/unit shared drives and supported services, and all other sign-ins to the UWSP network for employment-related tasks.
- Help in managing the department's or unit's dedicated mailbox and email/calendar. The Student Staff account should be added to the department/unit Mailbox Access Group for that purpose.
Why should student accounts not be added to a department mailbox?
- Work correspondence that originates from and comes into a student mailbox is lost to the department when the student’s employment ends.
- Work correspondence that originates from a student mailbox looks less official and can easily be overlooked by the recipient.
Requests for exceptions must be submitted to UWSP's Information Security Office.
