Requesting Accounts for New Faculty or Academic Support Staff

Requesting Accounts for New Faculty or Academic Staff

Teaching faculty (full-time, part-time or adjunct hired to teach one or more courses) will receive NetID, email, Brightspace and Banner accounts.  A Banner account is required for automation to create their Brightspace LMS account.

Academic support staff may also need Brightspace and Panopto accounts if they are to support course materials/activities online using those systems.

Your degree program administrator must file requests to create your accounts as follows:

Step 1. Complete Compliance Training

• Access the Compliance Office's training page. 
• Download the Compliance Training Request Form and submit it to compliance@downstate.edu. Submitting this form to the Compliance Office will generate a login to online training within one business day.
• You must complete the online training in order to receive access to your NetID account.

Step 2. Request NetID, email and Brightspace Accounts

• Download and submit the Network and Application Access form 
  (NOTE: This form is accessible via Intranet only)

Step 3. Banner Access

Your administrator must email the Registrar's Office with a request to assign the instructor to their course in Banner.  Include:

• full name
• phone number
• outside email address
• course information for the upcoming course(s) that you will be teaching including:
  • semester
  • course subject code and number
  • title
  • section

Once the instructor is assigned to the course in Banner, daily automation will create a Brightspace account and enroll you into the course in Brightspace.  More information on Brightspace such as how to login, navigate and create content can be found here.
