4 The Newuser Process to set up your network account Logon as newuser (all one word) leave the password line totally blank on the STUDENT domain You must have your Student ID number to enter when the program asks. After agreeing to follow the computing policies, you can pick up your password by showing photo ID to the staff in B388 (the Computer Helpdesk) or the office in Geneva or Newark.

9 Passwords and More Passwords Passwords should contain only letters and digits, NO spaces, punctuation, or special characters. They should have at least one letter and at least one digit, and should be at least 6 characters long. They should be difficult to guess, but easy to remember. A good password protects your privacy, your information, and your stored files. Always log out before you leave.

10 Computer logon (LAN account) password is assigned when you get your account. Must be at least 6 characters long Student e-mail password is whatever password you provide when you get it. WebAdvisor password is whatever new password you provide after your first logon. Must be 6-9 characters long, letters and digits. You can provide a password hint.

12 Computing at Home We use only Microsoft Word. If you use Ms Works, or Word Perfect, or anything else, you must save your file at home to a Word compatible format (. rtf file) if you want to open it here. If your class uses specific software, you can save a lot of money by working here, instead of buying the software for your home computer.

13 Transporting Data Try to avoid using diskettes. Store files on your U: drive for safety. Copy to a USB drive for file transport, or to a CD to archive many files. You can transport a file by e-mailing it to yourself, but be sure to empty your inbox, sent items, and trash often. Never keep your only copy of anything important on removable media.

14 Wireless Access For internet browsing using your own wireless laptop. Read your e-mail Do research on the World Wide Web Use web-based course materials You must provide your username and password before you can reach a website. See the Help Sheet about Wireless Access for current information about wireless access points on campus.Help Sheet about Wireless Access
