Account Life-cycle
Creation & first access
Affiliate accounts for vendors and contractors are created once the affiliate request form has been completed. The MHC employee listed on that form as the affiliate's primary MHC contact will be sent a system email with the affiliate's MHC username, initial password, and helpful resources for getting started at MHC.
Affiliate accounts created for MHC employees hired as affiliates will be created once HR enters the new employee into the central administrative system. The new affiliate's supervisor will be sent a system email with the affiliate's MHC username, initial password, and helpful resources for getting started at MHC.
Deactivation
Account access ends once the affiliate end date arrives. The affiliate end date is originally specified at the beginning of the affiliate's work at the College, and can be extended by their MHC contact or supervisor with the submission of a new affiliate request form.
When the account is deactivated:
- The MHC affiliate can no longer log in and access MHC systems
- Email, documents, calendars, and other data in Google aren't deleted
- Shared documents in their Google Drive “My Drive” are still accessible to collaborators for now
- New email messages and calendar invitations are blocked
