Employee Rehire/Enable Account

Summary

Use this request to re-enable the account of an employee returning to the college, rather than creating a new one from scratch.

When to Use This

Use this offering when:

  • An employee is returning to Bowdoin within 6 months of their departure
  • Their previous account still exists and can be reactivated
Timing matters. Accounts remain in our systems for up to 6 months after departure, then are permanently deleted. If the person left more than 6 months ago, a new account is needed instead.

When NOT to Use This

Don't use this offering if:

  • You're a general requester — this offering is available only to Human Resources
  • The person is new to Bowdoin — use Intent to Hire
  • The departure was more than 6 months ago — the account is gone; a new account is required

Before You Submit

Have ready:

  • The returning employee's name and prior username, if known
  • Their new start date and department

What Happens Next

IT reactivates the existing account and confirms with HR. If the account has already been deleted, IT will advise on creating a new one.
