This form is to request access to services not given to campus affiliates by default (see chart at bottom of page).
A Campus Affiliate (also known as a Person of Interest (POI) in CMS) is any person not paid as an employee by the University, such as volunteers, consultants, or vendors, who needs access to a University system as part of their relationship with the University.
Process and Timing for Obtaining a Campus Affiliate (POI) Account
- The Department, or Sponsor, submits completed Person of Interest (POI) form (with signatures of Person of Interest, as well as appropriate Administrator) to Human Resources (HR) - email address: humanresources@csumb.edu.
- HR verifies and approves the appointment and creates a Campus Affiliate (POI) record (POI 9 digit ID).
- Username (e.g., otte1234 - previously known as OtterID) is created as part of an overnight process (Day 1).
- Okta creates a single sign on account, and sends an activation email to the user to claim their account on the hiring effective date.
- For the POI types noted as "Email-N" in the chart below, the Department must submit an IT Ticket to request an email account.
- Campus Affiliate (POI) accounts are deactivated on the date of separation.
Note: The Department or Sponsor of any type of affiliate account that needs access to a service they don't automatically receive, must submit an IT Ticket. This includes services such as email, file sharing, VPN and more.
