SUNY Potdam

Process for Requesting Campus Computer Accounts

Employee CCAs will be created automatically for all new hires but only after Human Resources, the Research Foundation, or PACES has received a signed contract.  New hires will receive a CCA sheet displaying their username and default password in the campus mail a few days following the receipt of their signed contract.  A similar process is already in place to delete accounts when employees leave service.

New employees will automatically be added to the SUNY Potsdam on-line campus directory http://directory.potsdam.edu.  At this time, all current employees should possess a CCA and have an on-line directory entry.  If you do not, please contact Brenda Bennett at 267-3000 or bennetbs@potsdam.edu and she will help you obtain one.

Given the nature of integration between the campus information systems, a CCA will need to be created prior to PACES issuing new employees a campus ID (SUNY) card, TelCom assigning telephone or voice mail services, and Physical Plant processing key and card access requests.

It is imperative that departments share this information with all new hires and encourage them to turn in all paperwork in a timely fashion to avoid service gaps. This is a necessary step in safeguarding the college's information assets.
