Departmental or Campus Organization Accounts: Request, Add or Remove User

Summary

Get a departmental Outlook account so that when a user leaves, resources (email, forms, calendars) aren't tied to someone's personal email, and the department still has access.

Body

Departments and campus organizations can submit requests to create email accounts tied to a department or a function within a department rather than a specific person. This can prevent the department from losing access to information after a user leaves the university and prevent needing to update recipient emails within forms. This account also allows for a shared departmental calendar.

To request a departmental or campus organization account, fill out the Request to Add a Campus Organization to the Online Directory form or click the Request Service button on this page. Once the form is reviewed, someone from ITS will contact you.

Accessing the Email Account Management Website

As an owner of one of these accounts, the Email Account Management website allows you to access your group to add or remove users.
