Academic volunteer access
Would you like to be a volunteer in a research lab or department to collaborate in research with a specific faculty member? Then here's what you should know.
Concordia Visitors, who are not subject to Concordia’s academic visitor policy or the university’s payroll, may gain access to university accounts and facilities as an academic volunteer, either remotely or in-person.
Instructions
The research collaborating faculty member completes the volunteer access form below to be signed by the volunteer and sent to the appropriate Faculty Associate Dean, Research for approval.

Once the form’s approval process is complete, it is sent to academic-access@concordia.ca for processing, and the volunteer is informed when access is created. The access creation process normally takes within 1 to 3 business days, and will allow for the following:
- An Employee ID number
- A CU Account Netname
- A Concordia Email Account
Volunteers may have access to services such as Wi-Fi, VPN, Moodle and the online Library, as required by the Volunteer Agreement. Instructions for these and other possible services (e.g., in-person library access, shuttle bus service, access cards) will be provided to the volunteer.
*Because physical ID cards cannot be issued at this time; volunteers who are approved to have access to facilities should have their Volunteer Agreement and Academic Access Information letter on hand to show affiliation with the University.
Additional information
- The assigned role account will be deleted 30 days following the appointment’s end date
- Requests for end date extensions require a new volunteer form to be completed.
- Volunteers cannot be assigned a student ID unless officially registered in an academic program
