Employee Computer Accounts
Request a Computer Account
A department head, dean, director or department assistant submits a request to the IT Services Help Desk to setup your computer account at the time of your hire.
This requires your employee number which is found on your UFV Human Resources contract, campus card and pay stub.
IT Services requires the following information at the time of this request:
| First and Last Name |
Employee Number |
| Department |
Job Title |
| Primary Campus (Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission) |
Office Number |
| Telephone Number or Local |
Expiration Date of Account |

Special accounts (i.e. Banner. ACM) |
| Budget Code (for Print/Copy) |
|
