Log on to Computer Network
Once you register at college, for any subject and any units, a private account will be set up for you. To log on to your account you need a student log on account. Student's log on account is composed of two items:

• User Name: Composed of first name and last name in the format of: firstname.lastname, all in lower case. Examples:
  

  User Name for John Richardson is johnrichardson

  
  

  User Name for Linda Smith is linda.smith

• Password: this is birth date in the form of: MMDDYY (6 characters.) Examples:
  

  Password for the DOB "January 9, 1982" is 010982

Note: Students with common first and last names may have other additional characters in their User Name. For such cases, instructors and Lab Assistants can find the correct User Name for each individual.

To log on to computer network at college, just enter your User Name and Password in the Log on Dialog Box. Please do not change the assigned Network Domain in the dialog box.

Saving Space Availability on the Network
An area of 20 Mega Bytes (20 MB) private space on the College Network is assigned to each student account. The default location of this space is: "User Name$ on 'coyote1' (H:). For example for User Name "john.smith" the default location would be: John.smith$ on 'coyote1' (H:). Students can save their documents on this space. Students can retrieve their saved files, at any networked computer anywhere in the College. This private space will be kept for the complete semester. Once the semester is over, this space would be taken from student and all the files, on it, would be erased. Students who need copies of their documents saved on College Network, should copy the files to floppies or zip disks before the semester is over. Usually this would be posted in the LRC computer labs sometime before end of semester.

Students can also save their documents on flash memory stick. This gives the possibility of working on the documents, anywhere outside the college.

It is highly recommended that students save their works on their H drives at college.
