NetID: Switching from Student to Staff or Faculty

Overview

The guide below addresses several changes that occur when a Student becomes a Faculty or Staff member. This is a change in your Primary Affiliation with the University.

Information

• Primary Affiliation - The person's primary affiliation will automatically update once their department finalizes their paperwork in IRIS. OIT does not control affiliation; IRIS or the person's department does. Once IRIS updates, you'll have access to resources granted to only Staff/Faculty members.
• Email - Your email account will remain the same as when you were a student. However, see Email login username under Recommended Changes below.

Recommended Changes

• Email login username (UPN) - We recommend updating your primary email address and login username from @vols.utk.edu to @utk.edu. Submit a request online, and under What type of help is needed?, select the option for Microsoft and Google Administration. 
• Email Provider - You may also want to update your email provider from Gmail to Outlook. Visit Email: Switch Between Gmail and Microsoft Outlook as Your Email Provider for more details.
