Network accounts and services for new employees;
A guide for supervisors and employees

This guide highlights the network resources new employees are likely to need and describes how to obtain them. Our goal is to give new employees access to these resources as early as possible.

First step: Human Resources
When a new employee is hired, Human Resources enters them in the employee database. This is the essential first step in setting up any network accounts for the new employee. You can find out whether a new employee has been entered in the employee database by checking the online phonebook from the Campus Information Desk. When the new employee appears there, we can begin to setup other network accounts. For certain temporary or limited term employees, Human Resources does not enter the employee in the employee database. For these employees, please request a long-term guest account from IT Services.

Network accounts
IT Services recommends that all employees that will be working with computers have a Falcon and a NetWare account. The Falcon account provides access to email, to certain shared file systems and to other important network services. The NetWare account provides access to the faculty/staff Home and Department file systems on the network as well as network printing.

• The Falcon account may be self-activated by the employee after Human Resources has recorded them as an employee. The new employee should use FAA to do this.
• A NetWare account may be requested here.
• For new employees that may need other network accounts, this link will explain some other accounts that are available.
• Permission for editing departmental web pages is granted by the campus web coordinator.

Computer setup
If the new employee will be receiving a new computer, they will receive a packet of information and forms from IT Services. Please complete the paperwork and return it to IT Services. We will configure and deliver the computer when it arrives.

If the employee will be using an existing computer, please ask IT Services to configure the computer for the new employee. If the new employee needs software not already installed on the computer, submit a site-license software request form.

New faculty or academic staff
Those who are teaching classes at the university will find additional resources in eSIS. Using this tool, faculty can request course rosters, setup a courses folder to distribute and collect electronic files, and more.

If the new employee will be using a Technology Enhanced Classroom, they should request training from IT Services and secure a key from facilities management.

Questions?
If you have any other questions, please just ask. We will be happy to help.
