DEPARTMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES
A university department may wish to set up a computer account dedicated to a specific departmental function. Use
of this account is limited to the function for which it is assigned.
The department must designate a full-time salaried U of M staff member as the sponsor of the account. The
sponsor is responsible for ensuring that the account is used only for its intended purpose and that all users of the
account agree to abide by University of Manitoba policies and procedures. The sponsor is responsible for
informing the Computer Accounts Office of any changes to the initial application. For contact purposes, the
sponsor’s phone number and email address must be available from the University’s online directory.
An expiry date will be set on the account. If the account is required past this date, the sponsorship can be
renewed.
