CSSD Account Information

CSSD Account Information

CSSD (Computing Services and Systems Development) issues an account to every student, faculty member and staff member when they first become associated with the University.  These accounts are normally initials taken from a person's name followed by a sequentially increasing number.  These accounts are created as primary accounts, meaning that they can be used on any CSSD system and reflect that the account holder is an active student or employee.  After this relationship is terminated the account will function approximately two weeks and then be eliminated.  If an account holder wishes to maintain his or her account it is possible to request a sponsored account which will allow continued access to most campus resources.  Obtaining a sponsored account requires that your department request your account remain active as a sponsored account and it is the account holders responsibility to speak with their departmental staff to maintain a sponsored account.

Of particular note: Printing services are unavailable to sponsored account holders.
