## Account Creation, Expiration, and Extension

Cal Poly accounts are automatically provided to students, faculty, and staff. Accounts for clubs, departments and guests of the university must be requested. When you leave Cal Poly, you may still have access to some university resources for a limited period of time.

### Making Changes or Extending Accounts

> ℹ️ *Account extensions require approval from a sponsoring campus organization.*

If you need to:

- Modify a Cal Poly account, like an account contact update or application access for a shared account, and submit an [Other Account Modification Request](https://calpoly.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/2/group/13/create/50). You can also use this type of request to deactivate an account.
- Extend or reactivate a **Cal Poly account**, submit an [Account Extension Request](https://calpoly.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/2/group/13/create/49). Account extensions require approval from a sponsoring campus organization.
- Extend your **Microsoft 365 account**, which includes email and calendar, and submit an [Other Account Modification Request](https://calpoly.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/2/group/13/create/50).
