Consultant Account Request

Request a district user account for a consultant who is not a CCS employee but needs temporary access to district systems to support CCS work. Consultant accounts are time-limited, approved, and monitored to protect student and district data.

Extension requests are automatically generated for consultants 30 days before their account end date, or for consultants who haven't logged in for 60 days.

How we use Consultant Account Request

  • Giving a non-employee consultant temporary, time-limited access to district systems to support CCS work
  • Getting a consultant account approved through your management chain and IT Management
  • Keeping consultant access monitored and protected through a signed Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
For a returning or formerly disabled consultant, use Consultant Re-Activation instead of submitting a new request

Workflow Process

  1. Management Approval - Approval request is sent to a principal, supervisor or higher in your management chain. You can also define this manager in the ticket.
  2. IT Management Approval - The request is reviewed and approved by IT Management.
  3. AUP Signature - An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) link is emailed to the consultant, the requestor, and the requestor's manager for signature.
  4. Account Creation - Once the AUP is signed, the account is created overnight, on or after the consultant's start date.
  5. Password Delivery - Password will be sent after account is created to manager, consultant account & personal email of consultant.

Before you start your request

  • Accounts are created for a maximum of one year -- automatic ticket extensions are created 30 days before the consultant is set to expire
  • Consultant account requests are no longer accepted by email -- all requests must be submitted using this form
  • Requests will be automatically closed if:
    • The consultant's start date is more than two weeks away
    • Management approval is not granted within 2 weeks
    • The AUP is not signed within 30 days
