Guest Accounts: LSU Overview

General Information

There are two primary ways that guests and visitors coming to the LSU Baton Rouge Campus can attain access to University online resources.

1. LSU NetGuest Account – a LSU NetGuest account grants access to the LSU Guest Wireless Network Only.  See GROK Article 5979 for specific instructions on how to create a LSU NetGuest Account.
  
2. LSU Sponsored Guest Account – a LSU Sponsored guest account is required for individuals that are not employed by LSU who need extended access to LSU online resources beyond wireless network access (e.g. LSU domain account, LSU Network).

Requesting a Sponsored Guest Account:

All LSU Sponsored Guest Accounts must have a sponsor. A sponsor is someone that is directly employed with LSU that serves as the primary contact for the guest. The sponsor will receive and distribute the account information to the guest. To request a sponsored guest account, the sponsor should follow the steps below.

1. The Sponsor must submit the following required information to the ITS Service Desk (servicedesk@lsu.edu) or submit a ticket via https://itservice.lsu.edu/TDClient/30/Portal/Requests/ServiceDet?ID=16

a. Sponsor’s MyLSU Account ID (ex: mtiger1).

b. Guest Personal Information:  First and Last name, Birth Date, and Forwarding E-mail Address.

c. Guest account expiration date (mm/dd/yyyy). Maximum of up to 1 year from request date.

• The guest and their sponsor will receive notification 30 days prior to expiration. The sponsor may request to renew the account in up to 1 year increments.

d. Description of the official University business that the Guest will be conducting.

2. Once the request is processed by ITS, the guest will receive an activation email to the email address that was provided by the sponsor.

Extending a Sponsored Guest Account:   

Provide the name, username, and new expiration date (maximum of 1 year from request date) then use one of the following methods:
