Request for Privileges (R4P) Process
A person's supervisor or a Business Office representative can help fill out the Request for Privileges. In order for the Business Office to complete the R4P, the Business Office will need the person’s full name, work address, and a work email address. Possibly a date of birth (for disambiguation purposes). A Social Security number is NOT required for a Non-Employee or vendor. SSN IS REQUIRED for any paid position (paid directly by Purdue, not through a 3rd party).
The Business Office will have to fill out a form called a Request For Privileges (acronym R4P) for this person (https://www.purdue.edu/apps/account/r4p).
The specific choice needed there would be a Non-Employee (this choice triggers the “no SSN needed” option), future employee (Needs SSN), etc.
Once this is approved, one of the requestors or the Business Office will need to let Purdue IT know that the account is now present in the Purdue Directory: https://directory.purdue.edu
Please let us know by using https://engineering.purdue.edu/support - provide the assigned career account login.
Note:
- This process could take up to two business days.
