Services accounts are e-mail only accounts that are used for departments or student groups to have a e-mail address that is not tied to a specific person. Example: help@pdx.edu.
Service accounts can only be requested by a PSU staff or faculty member who will be responsible for the usage of this account. To request a service account, the sponsor needs to come in person to the USS Helpdesk to create the account and sign the appropriate paperwork.
Service account usernames are limited to 8 characters. If a longer email address is needed, a short username version is created first, and then a request for a longer alias will be entered. The alias request is usually processed within 2-3 business days.
If you have any questions, please contact the USS Helpdesk for more information.
