Modern computing continues to move toward a web-centric environment with access to personal and public data from any computer or, device on the Internet through a web browser. Keeping in step with this, I am pleased to announce the Beachnet Global Access Portal for Southampton College students.
Portals are websites that bring together related services.
The Beachnet Global Access Portal brings computing services to our students in a 21st century computing environment. This departure from the local area network accounts on our Novell server will provide many significant changes to the student computing experience. Keeping with the web-centric concept, WebMail will allow for global access to Email via a web browser. A student will point the browser to the Global Access Portal where they can login to WebMail for full access to all of their Email. By simply using Netscape or Internet Explorer a student can login to their account over the Internet and work with their files using a web-based file transfer program.
