WSU Guest AccessID

What Is a Guest AccessID?

Wayne State University provides e-mail, network authentication, directory services and WSU Pipeline access for its employees and students.

With the Guest AccessID, the university also can offer access of these services to a limited number of individuals who are not employees or students of the university.

Who Can Get a Guest AccessID?

The Guest AccessID is for people whose affiliation with the university is in a capacity directly supporting or benefiting the university's academic or administrative activities.

A Guest AccessID is a privilege. The person who gets one must abide by the WSU executive order on Acceptable Use of Information Technology Resources.

A dean, vice president, or dean/vice president designee must sponsor and sign the request for a Guest AccessID. The sponsor certifies that the access supports a university purpose.
