How to Request an Affiliate Account for Non-SIUE Personnel
Overview
An affiliate account allows non-SIUE personnel to access specific SIUE systems and resources when working with the university. These accounts are typically requested for external collaborators, researchers, consultants, or other individuals who need temporary access to SIUE systems for legitimate business purposes.
Who Can Request an Affiliate Account
Only current SIUE personnel with active university email accounts can request affiliate accounts on behalf of external individuals. The requester must serve as the account supervisor or work with an academic sponsor.
How Long is an Affiliate Account Active
Affiliate accounts are set to expire one year from their creation or last renewal date, or on a provided end date, whichever comes first. To renew an account and ensure continued access, the sponsor must email help@siue.edu before the account's end date to request an extension. If an account expires, users will need to re-apply to regain access
Required Information
Before submitting your request, gather the following information about the affiliate:
- Full legal name
- Date of birth
- Requested start date for account access
- End date (if known)
- External permanent mailing address
- External contact phone number

How to Request an Affiliate Account

Important Considerations

- Account supervisors are responsible for the appropriate use of affiliate accounts
- All affiliate account holders must comply with SIUE's Acceptable Use Policy
- Regularly review and update affiliate account access as needed
