Short Term Accounts and Events

Short term accounts are granted to people with a short term relationship with a department, such as visiting faculty, interns, event coordinators, etc.

The recipient of the short term account will enable a person to login to all General Labs and services, as well as departmental labs with appropriate access. They will print to computer lab printers, and may require special requests to get full functionality.
