The instructor is responsible for insuring the students know how to use specific software. A userID is a unique name of up to 12 characters that identifies the user to the computer. Passwords should be chosen so that no one can easily guess them.

Passwords on host systems must be changed periodically, typically every 190 days. Passwords for class userIDs on Raven expire every 120 days - once a semester. Faculty, staff and students can register for a userID on a host system at the Help Desk by completing a form and presenting photo identificaion. If you have forgotten your password, or if it has expired visit the HelpDesk in the lower level of Frye to have it changed. The amount of disk space taken up by an individual's files on host systems is limited by disk quota settings.
