Request a Secondary Account
- An account must be requested by a faculty or a staff member currently affiliated with CU Boulder. If the account is being requested for a student group, that group must be affiliated with the Center for Student Involvement and requests must come from them. Otherwise, requests for secondary accounts can be made by filling out the Secondary Mailbox Request form on the Messaging and Collaboration Request Portal (please note: you must be on campus or using VPN to access the portal). Usernames can be specified, if the ID is not currently in use. Requested user names can be up 20 characters in length, but numbers, spaces, and punctuation marks cannot be used.
- To request a Secondary Account for a Student Employee (EXC account), fill out the Student Employee Account Request Form on the Messaging and Collaboration Request Portal (please note: you must be on campus or using VPN to access the portal).
