U-M Zoom
Issue
Am I eligible for a U-M Zoom account? Who has access to U-M Zoom?
Resolution
The following information is applicable across the Ann Arbor, Flint, Dearborn, and Michigan Medicine campuses.
Eligible
If you have at least one of the following affiliations, you are eligible for a U-M Zoom account (under the U-M license) for as long as you hold that affiliation:
- Students (from matriculation to either graduation or end of student status)
- Faculty (including emeritus faculty, lecturers, and intermittent lecturers)
- Staff (including temporary staff)
- Sponsored affiliates with regular uniqnames and UMIDs (i.e., Type-1 Sponsored Affiliates, strong identities)
Not Eligible
The following affiliations are not eligible for a U-M Zoom account under the U-M license (as long as you do not have any of the roles from the previous list):
- Alumni
- Retirees
- Sponsored affiliates with regular uniqnames and UMIDs that start with "99" (i.e., Type-2 Sponsored Affiliates, long-term guests)
- Sponsored affiliates with uniqnames starting with "um" and followed by numbers (i.e., Type-3 Sponsored Affiliates, weak identities, short-term guests)
- U-M Friend accounts
Additionally, MCommunity groups and Shared Accounts are not eligible to access U-M Zoom under the U-M license. Sharing a Zoom account with multiple people is a violation of Zoom's terms of service, as well as a violation of U-M's agreement with Zoom.
Additional Information
If a Zoom account is desired (and you are not eligible), anyone may sign up for a free, basic Zoom account with a non-UMICH email address. Hosts of U-M Zoom meetings may choose to enable non-UM participants to join as guests if needed.
