“Affiliate members” of The College of Wooster are individuals who require access to College technology and building access services for their work on behalf of the College, but are not students or employees. Around campus, we know these individuals in their roles such as “affiliated scholars,” “volunteer coaches,” or staff of our contracted service providers (such as Creative Dining staff).

Approval for access to services requires that the affiliate member be sponsored by a College department or program and completion of the “Account and Services Request” form.  Authorized affiliate accounts must be renewed annually if provided for more than one year or a long-term basis.

When the request for an account is approved, the affiliate member is issued a College of Wooster username and email address, and an ID card (if requested).  As the ID card requires a photo, the affiliate member will need to visit the campus Keys & IDs Office to obtain their card.

The following areas maintain affiliate member data in our Colleague application:

• Facilities Management & Planning: custodial services affiliates
• Auxiliary Operations & VPFB: dining services affiliates
• Information Technology-Applications Development (for now): all others

The employee sponsor should provide the affiliate with the “Account and Services Request” form, which the affiliate should return to the sponsor for signature and forwarding to the appropriate area above.  The form should be used for both new affiliate services requests and renewals.
