Sponsored Temporary Account (STA) - Requesting an Account

University of Kansas departments and employees frequently host non-KU affiliated individuals and groups. Many of these circumstances create a need for a temporary electronic ID in order for the visitor to access campus services and computers. Examples of these circumstances might include temporary workers, vendors, visiting scholar programs, summer workshops, community training programs, or various other types of sponsored events.To accommodate these needs, KU Information Technology has created Temporary Service Accounts (Sponsored TemporaryAccount). KU IT requires the Temporary Service Account to be tied to the individual user, and the user must be sponsored by a campus department.

Temporary access maybe granted by contacting a current employee at the University, and then have that individual follow these instructions:
 
  1. Go to https://technology.ku.edu/catalog/sponsored-temporary-account
     
  2. Select Individual Accounts
     
  3. Sign in with your KU Online ID and Password as prompted.
     
  4. Fill out and submit the Temporary Sponsor Account Form that is presented.
     
  5. After submission, KU IT Account Management staff will contact you within 24 hours. If you have questions prior to being contacted by KU IT Account Management, please call 785-864-0439
