New process as of 6/30/16

Chemistry IT staff have not yet determined how we can best be of service to the department considering the new process.

Old process, FYI

1. Have the responsible faculty member send an email to the department chair (currently David Collum <dbc6>), cc:ing Chemistry IT <ChemIT@cornell.edu>, providing the following information:

If simply renewing sponsorship (vs. sponsoring the NetID for the first time), no need to request duration or reason. We default to one year unless we are told to do otherwise. Use our email template:

2. Chemistry IT will provide an authorization form to the departmental chair to sign.

3. Chemistry IT will forward the Chemistry departmental approval to CIT for processing. Processing usually is very quick as a NetID is not being created.

4. Chemistry IT documents all currently sponsored NetIDs.

5. CIT emails us with a confirmation. And the NetID becomes "sponsored" in Cornell terminology.

We're trying to think of ways to improve this process.
