How To Obtain a Student Account

If you are successfully enrolled in a Computer Science undergraduate class scheduled to use the undergraduate lab (ECS 241) an account is automatically created for you. Your initial password will be your student ID with dashes. If you register late for an undergraduate course scheduled to use the JCCL, your account will be created within the next 24 hours. Passwords are reset each semester to your student ID with dashes. For details on how to log into computing systems in the undergraduate lab please review the lab's FAQ page.

Note: When your computer account expires you are responsible for your data.

Important: All accounts and key cards will expire on the last day of finals.

Important: Also, you are responsible to maintain a backup of your computer files. The School maintains backups of your files that were created/modified within the last two weeks to be used to restore the system in case of catastrophic failure. You can use the ZIP drives on the XP systems to store 100MB of data.

If you are enrolled in a Computer Science graduate class you will receive access to the graduate lab in ECS 256. 'Access' consists of both a card key for the lab door and computer accounts for Windows XP and UNIX systems available in the room and on the CS network.

Your Computer Science graduate account will be created automatically by the 2nd week of classes. You can visit the Computer Science Secretaries in ECS 354 to obtain a memo which you will take to the campus Keybank office to receive the lab card key. Your initial passwords for the UNIX and XP accounts are your student ID with dashes.
