Online Services/Account Requests

When you are hired and set up your MIDAS account, you automatically receive access to several service accounts, including email, Office 365 cloud services, university workstations and networks, and Google apps for faculty/staff.

Some employees may need access to additional service accounts in order to carry out university business. These additional services can be requested through MIDAS. Requests are automatically routed to the appropriate people for approval, and most accounts are processed within 24 hours.
