How you get an Account . Student accounts will be automatically generated based on class enrollments. They can be picked up the KU reception desk on the 8 th floor during the first two weeks of classes. Instructors should fill out an application at the KU reception desk during the first week of class and their account will be generated by the second week of class. All students are expected to backup their work at all times.
Computer servers can crash or fail.
The New School does not backup student work on the NT and SGI accounts. If you do not know what a backup is or how to do one, contact your instructor as soon as possible. When accounts are distributed an initial password is set to be identical to the name of the account. On the NT account, you are forced to change your password the first time you log in. On the SGI platform, you are not forced to change your password, but for security reasons you must change it as soon as you log in the first time.
