There are some cases in which non-employees (not paid by ODU's HR department) need access to University services. These people may be external employees like Research Foundation or Aramark staff, vendors or contractors. When the request for an account is approved, they are issued a University ID Number (UIN) and have access to directory services.
Requesting an Affiliate Account
