Before You Begin

A ULID guest account is a temporary ULID account sponsored by a faculty or staff member at Illinois State University. ULID guest accounts are typically requested for people who are adjunct to the University or who are affiliated in some other capacity that is out of the norm.

Only current faculty and staff members may request a ULID guest account. The person who requests the ULID guest account becomes the guest account sponsor. The sponsor of the account takes a level of responsibility for activity on the guest account.

1. Go to the Support & Requests section of the University Computer Help Desk website.
2. Click ULID Guest Account Request.
   • Log in through CentralLogin if prompted to do so.
   • Only faculty and staff members are allow to request ULID guest accounts.
3. Complete the form to submit your request.
