Account Creation & Deletion

Purpose: This policy defines the creation and deletion process of technology accounts for students, employees, and alumni.

Policy: A technology account is created for students who have been admitted, registered, and/or are alumni (12 or more successfully completed credits) of Millikin within two business days after their information has been entered into the Banner system.

A technology account is created for an employee within two business days after their base employment record has been entered into the Banner administrative system by HR personnel and activated based on start date.

Procedure: Students and employees receive accounts according to their status in the Banner administrative system. Accounts and the ability to access information in the myMILLIKIN portal, which provides single sign-on to all Millikin applications, are generated when information is entered into the system originally or when a status indicator changes from one condition to another. Everyone receives the Home 鈥淭ab鈥 in myMILLIKIN and receive accounts and additional information in myMILLIKIN according to their status.

Applies to: All students, alumni, and employees of Millikin University.
