Computer Accounts: General Information
Access to most University of Alaska systems is provided through a UA Username and password. The UA Username is accepted across the UA system and is generated automatically for every individual entered into the UA Student Information, Human Resources, or Finance system (Banner).
The use of Banner-generated UA Usernames ensure that computer accounts remain consistent as individuals change roles and move throughout the UA System.

Student accounts are available immediately upon registration in Banner for any UAS course. The accounts will remain active up to 8 weeks following the conclusion of the final course(s).
Employee accounts are immediately available once an employee has an active employee role or is designated as the instructor of record for any UAS course. Employee accounts expire 4 weeks after an employee is terminated in the Banner system.
University of Alaska Affiliates
UAA/UAF/Statewide Affiliates
Affiliates with active accounts from other UA campuses can login immediately to UAS resources such as the computing labs and UASOnline. No further action is necessary. Account expiration is managed by the user’s primary campus, MAU affiliation.

At this time, Banner contains over a half-million accounts. These include current and former applicants, students, employees; and contractors. If the individual is already in Banner, IT Services will simply activate the account by assigning a special role and expiration date.
If the individual is not yet in the Banner system, their information will need to be entered there in order to generate a UA Username. UAS Departments can contact either the Registrar or the Human Resource department in order to have an individual added to Banner. Once this has been done, IT Services can activate the account immediately by assigning a special role and expiration date.
