Who May Grant Access?

Only the content owner or an ITCS administrator may grant access to other ECU faculty/staff or external guests. Access to and use of each of the referenced systems is governed by the Academic Computer Use Policy and the Student and Employee Computer Use Policy. Per these policies, accessing individual faculty computers to enforce university policies requires approval of the chancellor.

Access Duration Set by ITCS Administrators

3 month duration: peer review, accreditation, course content sharing, etc.

  • If additional time is needed, the requestor should state the desired duration in the request.
  • Content owner may remove or request removal of access anytime.  

Indefinite duration: department chair

  • Department chairs may request access to content for business purposes. Business purposes include but are not limited to absence of instructor, grading, accreditation, and teaching review.
  • Business purpose does NOT include access for an investigation into misconduct or to enforce policy; access requests of this kind require Chancellor approval.
  • The instructor of record/content owner must be informed that access is being requested.
  • Only the department chair can request removal of access.
