New faculty often need uniqnames before they have completed the hiring process, so their department can sponsor them (using the MCommunity Sponsor System). There are two ways to do this:
Departmental sponsorship administrators can set up the sponsorship and create a uniqname for a new faculty member.
Departmental staff members can ask the ITS Accounts Office to set up the sponsorship by submitting an MCommunity Sponsorship Application.
Once a uniqname has been created, departmental staff can submit a Computing Services for Sponsored Persons Request Form to have the ITS Accounts Office set up standard computing services for the incoming faculty member.
When the hiring process is complete, and information about the new faculty member is entered into the university's administrative systems, the faculty member's directory entry will be automatically changed from listing a sponsorship affiliation to listing a faculty affiliation. Should the faculty member not complete the hiring process, the sponsorship will expire after one year.
