External users: request an UNIL IT account (neither student nor employee)

Version française

Description

A UNIL IT account is not automatically created for collaborators external to UNIL (i.e., people who are not enrolled in a study program or employed by UNIL). The procedure below explains how external users can obtain a UNIL IT account.

Procedure

Step 1 - Creating an edu-ID account

Step 2 - Request a UNIL IT account

  • Go to the UNIL IT account creation request form and log in with your edu-ID account (if you do not have an edu-ID account yet, please follow the procedure described on this page in step 1).
  • The form will display your edu-ID information (last name, first name, the private e-mail address you provided – instructions for activating your UNIL account will be sent to this e-mail address) and will link you to the user group “External users of the Faculty of Biology and Medicine (FBM) or CHUV.”
