Description
Occasionally, classes held in the computer labs may have guest speakers or other non-ISU personnel attending who also need computer access. Creating temporary lab accounts addresses this issue.

Instructions
Temporary Accounts
-
Generic lab login accounts are designed for one-time use during any given class period.
-
Once the account password is set and tested by ITS, the username/password is given to the responsible party to disseminate among class members.
Responsible Parties
-
The person requesting the temp account is responsible for disseminating the login credentials to the students and tracking which user is seated at any particular station.
-
-
Requests must be made between 7 AM and 4 PM on weekdays and at least 24 hours beforehand. ETS is responsible for processing the request.
-
Note: Temporary Lab Accounts that also require printing may take longer to process and should be submitted at least three days before the event.
Important Notes
Post-event duties
-
After the reserved class has been completed, reset the password to a new random password, ensuring the temporary login previously created can no longer be used.
-
If the username and password were written on the whiteboard, a Lab employee must erase the username and password off the whiteboard once the class has concluded.
