Faculty/Staff Accounts

Active faculty/staff network and email accounts are created automatically and the account details are sent to their respective department coordinator(s) once employment paperwork has been signed, submitted, and processed by Human Resources.

The email is not necessarily sent to the department hiring coordinator(s) - it will be sent to the department email address assigned to hiring and to department hiring coordinator(s), if they are indicated in the Network Authorizations website Administration area. Please contact *Computer Account Authorizations ([email protected]) for more details.

Please note that new GVSU employee accounts will not be created until official employment information has been entered into Banner by Human Resources or Student Employment.
