Get ready for your seasonal Extension employees

Since these helpers should be paid and therefore have PSU accounts with an email account, there is less prep work for you! Ag IT will still need to assist in most cases so keep reading, please. If your intern is unpaid, please reach out as soon as possible to your consultant so we can assist you in planning.

If they will be using an office computer:

• Go ahead now and get it out of the closet/shelf/other hiding spot and get it powered up and on the office network. Then you can submit a help request but be sure to include the Service tag (usually on the bottom by the bar code) so we can serve you better.
• We can confirm it is supported and up-to-date for summer use.

 If they need access to office resources (such as the county share and printers):

• We will need their name and user ID (ex. abc123) to add them to the correct permissions groups.

If they are using their own computer:

• They need to use psu-ext-pub to connect to the office network.
• They will NOT be able to print or access the county share.
• They can use email, Word, Excel, etc. via http://office365.psu.edu unless they have Office installed on their personal device.

Questions or concerns? Reach out! We'd be happy to assist.
