Adjunct Account

Adjunct faculty can request a temporary account good through the current semester. Adjunct accounts are renewable each semester. Accounts for adjuncts not returning to teach the following semester will be allowed to expire. Each department is responsible for submitting a list of returning adjunct faculty to the office of Human Resources prior to the start of each long semester. Adjuncts on this list will get their accounts renewed without a lapse in service.

Guest Account

Faculty and staff can request temporary accounts for their on-campus guests. Guest accounts can be requested for 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.

Student Worker, Teaching/Research Assistant Account

Faculty and staff can request an account on the UHCL domain for students under their employ if needed. These accounts will be set to expire a few weeks past the end of each long semester and are renewable each semester at the request of the employing department.

Account Expiration

Full-time faculty and staff accounts have no expiration dates. Accounts expire 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.

Web Space for Student Projects

If your course requires your students to create web pages or share items via the web, you will need space on a web server for your classes.

For all such requests, contact SupportCenter@uhcl.edu - specify your course, using the catalog and class number (example: INST 5636) and the type of space you need (see below).

• If your class is part of the INST series, you'll need space set up on http://port.inst.uhcl.edu.
• If your class is not part of the INST series and you need space for students to create web pages or share information via the web, you'll need space set up on the Coursework server - http://coursework.uhcl.edu.
