Information about Non-Standard Bowdoin Accounts

Summary

Use this to read about the non-standard Bowdoin account types — contractor, collaborator, and guest — before deciding which to request.

When to Use This

Use this when you want to understand, before submitting a request:

  • The difference between contractor, collaborator, and guest accounts
  • What each account type can and can't access
  • Who is allowed to request each type, and the approvals involved

When NOT to Use This

Don't use this if:

  • You already know what you need — go straight to Contractor Account Request or Collaborator or Guest Account Request
  • You need help with your own faculty, staff, or student account — use Faculty, Staff, and Student Accounts
