Registering for a central IT account (CFS)

All accounts are requested by authorised staff, electronically, so if you are new to the university and do not yet have a CFS account, you will need to contact your department. 

If you are already a registered user of CFS and wish to request an account for a new staff member, contact your Departmental IT Contact (DITC) who will register via the online Self Service portal under the IT Registration section.  Only the Departmental IT Contact can request IT accounts for new members of staff.

Conditions of a Staff Account

Staff members must be registered on Personnel's records and must also have signed a contract with the University of Leicester.   Posts categorised as "Staff" with IT Services must be directly funded by the University and not via an external organisation or system (e.g.; Agent or Trust etc.) - these are Associate accounts.
