NetLink IDs for affiliates
Logins and passphrases
The Affiliate Identity Management System (AIMS) manages affiliate privileges and services at UVic. Affiliates are sponsored guests of UVic that require access to online resources or a UVic ID card to access library resources. Each affiliate must be sponsored by a UVic employee for the duration of their teaching, learning, research, or other work-based relationship with UVic. Examples of affiliates are UVic contractors, visiting scholars, visiting researchers, or visiting students.
Using an online form, affiliates can apply for a primary NetLink ID, granting them access to services such as UVic email address, wireless Internet, the UVic Library website, Moodle, FAST, and Banner.
