Non-UofL users can access iRIS using a University sponsored account.
Sponsored accounts are available for individuals that are not employed by the University of Louisville but have a valid business or academic relationship that requires the account(s) and/or access. Some valid reasons for sponsoring an account are:
Visiting academic groups
Temporary or visiting instructors if no other process for provisioning is currently in place
Third party doing administrative or academic business for or with a university entity needing technical access
The submitter must be a Unit Business Manager, Tier One, Department Chair, VP or Dean.
To get a University-sponsored account, your sponsoring department must request the account on your behalf. The sponsoring department can request a sponsored account using the steps below:
1. Go to: https://apps.cirrusidentity.com/console/auth/index
