Sponsored Accounts

An account for people performing a service or doing work for UCSC but who are not faculty, staff, or students. Sponsored Accounts (also known as Sundry Accounts) are similar to the CruzID, but require an active staff or faculty to complete a request explaining why a Sponsored Account is requested, for whom, for how long, and why it is operationally necessary.

  • Enables non-UCSC personnel to access university email, Wi-Fi, and other essential campus systems
