External Users on Fresco

Gaining access to a Fresco site as an external user


Requesting for virtual access

Virtual Access status is available for those who are not members of the University - such as external tutors, consultants and contractors - but who need to have access to certain web-based facilities. This can be used as a process for individuals who need edit access to Fresco. Note that you cannot be a Site Owner if not a member of the University. 


The Virtual Access application form should be completed via the normal card application process within your department, typically via the Head of Administration and Finance or equivalent. Once approved by the Card Office, an Oxford Single Sign On username will be created by IT Services.

Please note:
•    This is a virtual status and so no physical card will be issued.
•    The Virtual Access Status account holder will have no access to libraries or IT Services help, even in the management of this account. Virtual Access status is valid for a maximum of one year, unless they are external supervisors.
