Request an Account
Courtesy accounts, also known as hosted accounts, are created to provide technology resources for qualified individuals. A Miami University faculty or staff member may request courtesy accounts on behalf of an individual that is not currently affiliated with the university. The request form must be submitted by a Dean or Department Chair.
Reasons for Courtesy account requests:
- Students who are no longer enrolled but will continue to require computer accounts to complete course work
- Students who are not currently enrolled but are studying abroad or at another educational institution
- Faculty who are not currently employed by Miami but are preparing to teach or participate in an academic project
- Outside contractors who are not employed by Miami University but are providing a service
- Community members who are working on projects affiliated with the university
All accounts are established for a maximum of one year (one semester for academic requests) unless the requester indicates a shorter or different time frame not to exceed one year.
