Student Employment (SE) Account Information
What is an SE account? An SE account is an account created by technology resources for student employees to perform their job duties. These accounts have access limits on them such as what computers an employee may log into and what times an employee can login. They are also used to control what network resources an employee has access to.
How do I get an SE account? The student employee’s supervisor must request an SE account and specify what access is needed for the account.
UW-System has policies in place for data protection and authentication that limit who has access to data based on the data classification. In order to remain compliant with these policies UW-Superior will be requiring that all student employees use an SE account when performing work duties that require access to technology resources.
If you have any questions about SE accounts please contact Technology Services.
