Staff associate accounts are intended for onboarding temporary staff required to work with UQ organisational units (UQ faculties, divisions or institutions) whose details aren't in the payroll system (Workday), such as:

  • contractors
  • visiting academics
  • some interns and trainees
  • contingent labour hires.

If you are from an approved affiliate organisation located on a UQ campus or site, including UQ controlled entities (UQ Sport, JKTech, UniQuest, UQ College, UQ Health Care, UQ Residence), see UQ affiliate accounts.

Each associate account includes:

  • 50GB of monthly data
  • a UQ email account
  • on and off-campus access to UQ’s VPN.

Staff associate accounts can be active for a maximum of 12 months at a time from their creation date.
