What you need to know when you have a new hire at MIT

Getting IT resources for new hires at MIT often seems like a mystical process.  Hopefully equipped with the right knowledge ahead of time we can help make the process as easy as possible.

The Timeline

Things need to be done in a specific order in insure a smooth and quick start.

  1. T-minus 1-2 weeks to start date: Get the MIT ID number for the new employee. This ID number is the absolutely first step. Email this number to the new hire.
  2. T-minus 5-2 days before start date: Have the hire register their MIT Athena Account. This step is critical. It takes between 36 and 48 hours for the user's credentials to populate through all of IS&T's systems. If the user doesn't register their MIT Athena account until their start date, it will be another 2 days before they can gain access to any administrative systems.
  3. On the start date, have the user's email accounts set up. Add them to any shared calendars.
  4. On all web browsers the new hire should get MIT Certificates and get MIT Certificate Authority.
  5. Have the new employee attend a new employee orientation or go over the new employee orientation website.
