USF Guest Account System
USF departments and colleges may periodically bring “Guests” to the University. A Guest is an individual who requires access to certain USF resources such as a Network Account (NetID), an Email account, access to Shared Drives and Printers, or an USF Card for building access, but who does NOT already have an active affiliation (relationship) with the University, (e.g., current faculty, staff, or student) which already entitles them to request access to those resources.
Such individuals may be eligible for an entry in USF’s Guest System.
Please note that obtaining an entry in the USF Guest System does not grant or guarantee access to additional USF services or resources beyond the ability to obtain a USF card, or activate a NetID and Email account. Access to additional USF services or resources including enterprise systems and databases, application systems (non-enterprise), network shared drives (departmental and individual), and building access is controlled by the owners of those services/resources and is subject to their own vetting, request, and approval processes.
A Guest account can be requested by any "active" USF employee (paid by USF via Oracle HR payroll), Institute of Applied Engineering employee, or a USF Physicians Group employee.
Please note that activating a NetID automatically creates an email address for the Guest. If you want a Guest to have a NetID but not an email address, please notify USF IT via help@usf.edu.
