Updated SUA Request Process<\/strong><\/p>\n

To kick off the process the sponsor of the potential SUA must fill out the Request to Potential SUA form linked below.<\/p>\n

Upon submission of the form by the Sponsor an email will be sent out to the potential SUA asking them to complete a form that is linked within the notification that they recieve. Once the potential SUA fills out their form, the sponsor will get an email back letting them know that they need to complete the Workflow, and a link will be provided. Once the workflow is completed (form is submitted by the sponsor) an email will be generated and sent to caphelp@georgetown.edu for creation of the SUA’s account. All documents are now handled electronically and do not rely on Zoom meetings, in-person viewing, or copies being sent to the Sponsor.<\/p>\n

If a workflow is in progress or someone does not finish their part no email to caphelp@georgetown.edu will be generated, the uncompleted workflow will be in the In-Progress Workflows section of the Formstack Form submission page. No workflow can be moved to completion until the proper information is submitted by the sponsor (or someone working on behalf of the sponsor – AKA an admin of the Formstack System).<\/p>\n

Who are Sponsored University Associates?<\/strong>
\nSponsored University Associates (SUAs) are individuals who are “lightly affiliated” with Georgetown University. They engage with Georgetown in a variety of non-academic and academic roles and do not function as employees of the university. Contractors, collaborators, volunteers, and vendor reps, are examples of Sponsored University Associates.<\/p>\n

Who can add new Sponsored Associates to the SUA system?<\/strong>
\nOnly authorized submitters in each department can add new Sponsored University Associates. The submitter is often the one who handles HR\/administration for a department.<\/p>\n

What is the new identity verification process?<\/strong>
\nEach Associate must provide verification of identity to the sponsoring department\u00a0in the form of a government-issued photo ID<\/strong> (driver’s license or passport). All documents are now handled electronically and do not rely on Zoom meetings, in-person viewing, or copies being sent to the Sponsor.<\/p>\n

How long can an Associate be active without review?<\/strong>
\nAssociate status is granted for a maximum of one year at a time but can be renewed an indefinite number of times.<\/p>\n

What services do Sponsored University Associates receive?<\/strong>
\nAssociates automatically receive a NetID, GUID, and Google Apps account.\u00a0For a list of\u00a0additional services available on request, see the\u00a0services available for SUAs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Associates do not automatically receive access to Law Library resources. For questions about Law Library resources, please contact\u00a0lawlibrarydirector@georgetown.edu<\/span>(This link opens in a new tab)<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n
