Steps to sponsor an existing NetID

1) Send an email to Chemistry IT <ChemIT@cornell.edu>

Please include in your message:

• Person's name and NetID.
• Reason for sponsorship. (1 sentence is usually enough.)
• Date of expiration. (Max. of 1 year from start of sponsorship or renewal. They can be renewed yearly indefinitely, as needed.)
• If research group has a cluster managed by Chemistry IT, will this person require cluster access?

Example text:

• This is a request to sponsor an existing NetID. Soand So is a graduate student in my group until the end of July. I write to request that we extend her netID (NetID@cornell.edu) for a year beyond its normal expiration date at end of next July. Soand So has a number of projects to finish, and these may be best accomplished on our computer cluster requiring an active NetID.

Chemistry IT will process your request using CIT's system.

2) Ensure sponsored person processes the email they get from CIT

• The sponsored person is sent an email from CIT with a web link they must click.
• The link takes them to a page at which they are asked by the University to confirm they understand their obligations with this privilege.
  • It is a quick and simple affirmation process, apparently.

NOTE: Chemistry IT will confirm success to you, or if issues arise.
