By registering for temporary access, the affiliate will have access to our network, a ucdavis.edu email address, and a unique username and password which will be used to verify identity and enable subsequent access privileges to various parts of our network.
  • Q. Why do I care?
    • A. This online application will facilitate a sequence that will enable visiting people to access our data network. This can be beneficial for visiting professors, post-doctoral researchers, grant monitors, foreign exchange students, and more by enabling them to conduct their business with as small an interruption from the norm as possible.
