Accounts for new college employees and employees of affiliated services are automatically created after the employee’s information is entered into Workday. However, new employees must activate their Carleton accounts before they can receive email or access any college service requiring a login. Educational Associates and similar “5th year” employees can continue to use their student accounts, and do not need to go through the account activation process.
Getting Started:
- New employees will receive 16-digit Account Activation Code from the Office of the Provost. Faculty will recieve their activation code approximately 90 days before their start date. Staff and affiliated services employees will get their activation code emailed by ITS approximately one week before their start date, unless their supervisor opts to give them their account activation code on their first day of work. Human Resources or the Provost can grant an employee access earlier than normal if necessary. See Account Eligibility for more details.
- The 16-digit activation code allows new employees to create their accounts, confirm their default username, and create their initial password. If you would like a different username, submit an Account Support request form.
- Email and certain other computing resources are available as soon as the new employee completes the activation workflow. Accounts in other systems will be created within a few business hours, overnight, or during the next business day.
- The set of rights (the ability to access various network resources, such as file shares and online systems) is determined by the department for which the new employee works. Additional rights can be requested by contacting the ITS Helpdesk (x5999).
