Guest Account

Faculty and staff can request temporary accounts for their on-campus guests.  Guest accounts can be requested a specific period of time but typically are good for one day only.  A temporary login allows guests to log onto any PC on campus.  

Account Expiration

• Full-time faculty and staff accounts have no expiration dates.  Accounts are expired if an employee leaves UHCL and goes through terminal clearance procedures. 
• Adjunct accounts are set to expire at the end of each long semester.  The office of Human Resources notifies the Support Center of returning adjuncts prior to the beginning of each semester.  Adjunct accounts are renewed before they expire. 
• Expired accounts are not deleted until they have been inactive for a period of one year.
