Userid The Manager of the CAC's Accounts Office or designee assigns Userids. Userids are unique and will not be reassigned. The alias must not be a word in the Merriam Webster Dictionary that is listed as vulgar or obscene. All provisions of AD20 apply to alias content. There are specific rules governing the creation, maintenance, suspension, and termination of each of these classes.
Some individuals qualify under one or more classes of account.
In such cases, precedence will be in the order listed below with the highest level account being granted. When eligibility changes, the Penn State Access Account will remain continuously active during the change in class. This account will remain active during periods of continuous employment. The CAC recognizes that some employees such as Affiliate and Adjunct Faculty may have breaks in employment while still having a need to communicate with other Penn State Access Account holders. Faculty and Staff Accounts terminate when the employment, fellowship or other such relationship with the University terminates unless an individual qualifies for another class of account.
