Administrative and Research Lockers

Faculty and staff may request secure file-space lockers for administrative and research materials that should not be on the web, e.g., reports, spreadsheets, data sets, copyrighted or unpublished research, etc.  Additionally, individual user volmes can be requested under both of these locker types.  These lockers are provided free of charge.

Procedure for Requesting Lockers for Administration or Research

1. REQUEST A LOCKER. Only faculty and staff can request these lockers.
2. Select Administrative or Research.
3. Provide Unity IDs of the:
   • locker owner (faculty or staff)
   • people who need access to the locker (students, faculty, or staff)

You will be notified by email when the space is set up.
