IU Affiliate Account

IU Affiliate Account - may be needed for IPFW students taking course(s) at IU Northwest.

If a person does not have an IU Network-ID (all paid employees should have one so this is for people like IPFW people an IU Affiliate account can be created. This should be done by the professor.

An Affiliate account is ONLY to give someone an active STATUS.  Status is not an account.  But, once a person is given an active status of IU Affiliate, the person will be able to create a network id, ADS and email(if they need that).  The IU Afffiliate status DOES NOT give them the same privledges as a student or employee would have.

To request an IU Affiliate status,

• go to http://itaccounts.iu.edu
• click on create more IU accounts
• log on, scroll down to where it says 'request an IU Affiliate'
• fill in the form 
  • Please use correct information because the name you enter is the name that will be in the addressbook. 
  • Also, please give the correct date of birth because if not, this will stop them from creating accounts and it cause problems in the future

The professor should give the person active status. An affiliate account can have an end date (end of that semester) so after the semester, the account will not be able to be used.

After the request has been processed the affiliate will be eligible to go to http://itaccounts.iu.edu and create IU computing accounts; Network-Id for access to ERIS and Oncourse, ADS account, and email if they like. They will then be able to access ERIS — Electronic Reserves Information System.
