Request a new Sponsored, Departmental, Organizational or Service Account

There are 4 account types that can be requested.

  • Sponsored account - this is an account for a person who needs to access a Dartmouth system or is doing work for the college but is not staff, student, faculty or alumni.
    *Some software and services are not available to Sponsored accounts. Sponsored accounts are not issued a Library patron account by default.  Geisel Sponsored account requests follow a different process, documented here, and should not use this service.  
     
  • Departmental account - this is a non-person account for the purpose of departmental communications, or for department-specific shared devices.
     
  • Organizational account - this is a non-person account for student organizations
     
  • Service account - this is a non-person account used for systems, usually machine-to-machine.
