Description
A Sponsored Account is a Duquesne account created to give guests access to Duquesne resources. Individuals who are not affiliated with the University in an official capacity can use a sponsored account. This includes, but is not limited to, contractors, vendors, visiting scholars, alumni and event guests. There are also special "HIPAA Zoom Sponsored Accounts" that are used to enable a HIPAA mode setting in Zoom. A Sponsored Account can be created by a Duquesne sponsor; after the sponsor creates a sponsored account, they will send an email with information on setting up a sponsored account. This article walks through step-by-step instructions on setting up that account.
Steps
- In your email, you should have received an invitation to create a sponsored account. Click the Set up Duquesne sponsored account link in the email, or here.
- Fill out the information as prompted; use the email address in the email you received and the username you were given, read the Duquesne University Network Policy, check the box, and click Next.
- Create a password; the password must be at least 10 characters long, contain a lowercase letter, uppercase letter, one number, and a special character.
- On the next screen, you will be prompted to set security questions. One of them will be predefined; the other two will give you the option to write and choose your own. Remember these, as you will need these security questions and answers to reset your password in the event that you forget it or the password expires. These answers are case-sensitive. Press Next when finished.
- Your Duquesne sponsored account is successfully registered.
