This is a guide to help you get an idea of when you gain access and lose access to various accounts and services at SU.
When is my account created?
| Applicant/Transfer: | Applicants and transfer students who have not yet been matriculated have GullNet accounts created at the time of application. This provides access to GullNet only. |
Student: | Students receive their full SU accounts a few weeks prior to summer or winter Orientation 101 sessions, which gives them access to network login, email, etc. This occurs in June for the Fall semester, and in January for the Spring semester. Students who don't attend preview or who register after receive the information via regular mail after Preview. Non-degree students who register for classes in Summer/Winter are created within immediately (within 24-48 hours of admission). |
New Faculty and Staff: | Accounts will be generated automatically once a contract is entered into GullNet by Human Resources. An email will be sent to the supervisor for staff or administrative assistant for faculty with login credentials. The Acceptable Use Policy and the Policy Receipt Acknowledgement MUST be completed in GullNet prior to gaining access to the full GullNet Menu. |
Returning Contingent Faculty: | If returning within the 9 month grace period, email and network access will already be active. GullNet account will be re-enabled after the contract is signed, and an email will be sent to the faculty member stating GullNet access is re-enabled. If returning after the 9 month grace period, the contingent faculty member will be handled like a new employee. |
