Research Partner Accounts

Accounts

There are two types of accounts that are available to research partners who are not KU employees:

• Affiliate Accounts
• Sponsored Temporary Accounts

Affiliate Accounts

Affiliates of the University of Kansas are individuals who are employed with entities that are not part of the KU community but require official KU standing to participate in, or work with, various campus units on a volunteer basis. These affiliates have an official HR designation and can receive services such as parking, library access, email accounts, and other services available to KU faculty/staff/students.

Visit the Human Resource Management Affiliates page to see a complete list of Affiliates. In order to ensure that affiliates are appropriately registered, units must complete the Affiliate Data Sheet.

Sponsored Temporary Account

Sponsored Temporary Accounts (STA) carry no official HR designation. These accounts are intended to be temporary, short term, and sponsored by a full-time faculty/staff person in an academic/research department. These accounts allow individuals to more seamlessly interact with KU technology systems needed to provide assistance to KU Researchers, or provide temporary access to services when an official HR designation is not required or preferred.
