Computing Services manage account access for temporary
visitors and conferences.
Computing accounts for permanent fixed term and Associate University staff
are created and managed automatically by Human Resources
processes.
How to obtain a Computing Account for New Employees
The process for the creation of computing
accounts for new staff has recently changed following the
introduction of the University’s new Client Management System.
Computing accounts will now be created automatically from
the data held in the HR&OD Database, Agresso.
Following the creation of a staff record in Agresso,
e-mails will be sent to the new staff member’s personal e-mail
address detailing the staff member’s employee number and how to
use this to activate their computing account.
Once this e-mail has been received, staff
can activate their account externally by following the link:
www.canterbury.ac.uk/createmyaccount
Alternatively, accounts may be activated
using a University networked computer by entering the username
‘Create’ and following the on screen instructions.
What
does this mean?
The old Computing Account Request form
should no longer be used.
Managers and new employees should ensure that the
recruitment/new starter paperwork
relating to new staff is received in HR at least five working
days prior to the start date to ensure access to electronic
services on day one of employment.
Any queries regarding the recruitment processes should be
directed to the HR & OD Department at
hr@canterbury.ac.uk
Any problems with the activation of
computing accounts once the employee number has been received
may should be reported to the IT Service point either on
extension 2626 or via e-mail to
it-service@canterbury.ac.uk
For Other accounts: for visitors and all other types of access requests.
Please see Use of Computer Accounts for more information.
Please see Secure Passwords for information regarding setting passwords.
