SubmissionFile for Employees and Contingent workers was revised and is called IT ACCESS REQUEST FORM

Policy:

Based upon the Workday "Hire" status, accounts are created within 7 days of the "Hire Date".

Account and AccessShortly after WPI account creation, basic user information, including username, appears in the Global Address List (GAL). Only if the new hire has provided their personal email (i.e., social or other university) in Workday, an email communication can be generated to the alternate address with instructions to claim new WPI account credentials. Access provisioned to birthright* or other WPI systems is dependent upon the new hire completing the email communication instructions.

*Birthright is a WPI community member's predefined privileges (username, WPI email address) based on the Workday Job Profile type and/or Contingent Worker subtype (if applicable), i.e., Faculty, Staff, Student in Workday or Banner.
