Affiliates

The Affiliates Procedure is designed to give the appropriate privileges to those who do not have a student or employment contact with the University but who have a relationship with it and need access to systems and services for that purpose.

The procedure also ensures that access to IT systems are controlled in a manner compliant with the University’s licence agreements and data is handled in accordance with UK General Data Protection Regulations.

Affiliate status allows for individuals associated with the University to access Brookes systems, library and a Brookes email account. At Brookes, there are currently two types of affiliate:

  • Agency workers (temp staff) who are paid through their agency.

Affiliate Paid Staff including:

  • Some categories of self-employed workers,
  • Swim school instructors, and
  • Consultants

Please note that any individual granted Affiliate status must agree to abide by the University’s Terms and Conditions, which include the Computing Regulations, the Information Security Policy, the Data Protection Policy and the Freedom of Speech and External Speakers Policy.
