Information
Non-employee accounts, such as contractors, researchers (also known as collaborators), and others, can be requested for temporary workers to gain access to Bowdoin services. These accounts can receive access to a variety of systems and services as well as online access to Microsoft Office products, including email.
Contractors and collaborators are not generally provided technology, however their sponsor may request a loaner laptop for their time at Bowdoin.
Start and end dates must be provided and the account will be terminated at the end of the business day on the given end date.
Each non-employee account must be requested by their direct supervisor or department coordinator and access to each service and application should be requested separately to ensure that permission is being provided in a limited and timely manner. Accounts cane be requested by choosing the right link found under the Related Service Offerings section on this page.
