Body
Student Staff accounts are required for all electronic-lock access to work-related buildings, rooms, and key tenders. A student employee's Student Staff account should always be used when signing in to the UWSP network for employment-related tasks. If a student employee will be assisting with managing the department's or unit's dedicated mailbox, the Student Staff account should be used and added to the department/unit Mailbox Access Group for that purpose.
Request a Student Staff Account
The Department DIMS Manager must request a Student Staff account.
Prior to requesting a Student Staff account, make sure to review DIMS to determine if a staff account for the student already exists. Student employees only need one Student Staff account regardless of number of jobs at UW-Stevens Point.
If a staff account for the student does not already exist, submit a Student Staff Account request in DIMS. Student Staff Accounts should also be created for UWSP-employed students who do not attend UWSP such as SPASH, Mid-State, etc.
IMPORTANT: Student Staff Access to High-Risk Data
At minimum, Student Staff accounts are required for student employees whose work gives them access to high-risk data as defined in UW System Administrative Policy 1031 (data such as SSNs, personal health information, etc).
To better maintain department security surrounding student employee handling of high-risk data, UWSP's Information Security Office strongly encourages you to request a role-specific department account for your student staff shared use.
A Role-Specific Department Account:
- Confines high-risk data access to a single department-owned account ensuring the data cannot be accessed by individual Student Staff accounts.
- Can be restricted in sign-in access to only department computers.
Request a Role-Specific Department Account
To request a Role-Specific Department Account please submit an IT Workorder.
