Student Employee (SE) Account FAQ
Step-by-step
Student Employee (SE) Accounts allow SU student workers to separate work data from academic data. These fully-functional accounts are unique and separate from normal student accounts, and include access to University computers, Internet and wireless network access, and Office 365 email/calendar/contacts/OneDrive. Like other University accounts SE- accounts can be granted access (with manager approval) to T Drive, MPS, distribution list, and other University applications.
SE accounts are created upon request by a student worker manager and automatically disable on June 30th each year. Student worker managers can request one-year renewals by contacting the SU Help Desk. Student worker managers need to fill out this form https://seattleuniversity.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/2/group/5/create/314 to request an SE account for their student employee.
Which students need SE- Accounts?
Student worker managers can request SE account(s) for their student worker(s). SE- accounts allow for separation between a student worker’s “work data and work applications” and their “academic data and academic applications”. This includes some - not all - student workers, club officers, advising coordinators, and students who lead on-campus organizations.
When/How should I use my SE- Account?
Student workers and their managers should discuss when and how to use an SE- account. Generally, a student worker will use their assigned SE- account to perform work-related job functions. Popular campus examples include logging in to a campus computer to access or manage job-specific applications; saving data to a T Drive location; or printing to a work-specific MPS budget code.
For Third Party Applications that require integrations with Colleague (ex: Canvas, ChromeRiver, StarRez, ProcureSU) please contact the application administrator about granting permissions to an SE account.
What shouldn't I use my SE- Account for?
We do not recommend using your SE- account to manage your student academic data. Use your normal SU account, which was provided to you upon acceptance to Seattle University.
How can my supervisor request an SE- Account?
Student worker managers and supervisors request SE- accounts by filling out this form https://seattleuniversity.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/2/group/5/create/314. Be prepared to provide the student worker’s first and last name, student ID number, department, and student’s regular SU email address.
How can my supervisor extend my SE- Account?
Student worker managers and supervisors can submit a ticket to the SU Service Desk to extend any SE- accounts into the next academic year if the student is returning to their role. This must be requested annually for security purposes.
How are SE- Accounts different from SA- accounts?
SE- accounts are fully-functional University accounts that provide computer login, Office 365, wireless, internet, and MPS capabilities.
SA- accounts were only designed to provide access to Seattle University Exchange Email Public Folders. As of June 2017 SA- accounts are no longer provisioned, and have been functionally replaced by SE- Accounts. Existing SA- accounts are still functional, however SA- account managers should contact the SU Help Desk to request an SE- account to replace SA- accounts.
