Server accounts at school

You can use the PC machines in the classroom and in the CIS lab in the CIS classrooms. They all connect to the same servers.

Do NOT attempt to set up your accounts before the quarter starts. Accounts set up too soon may have problems.
If you add the course, wait a few minutes; it will take less than an hour for the system to be ready for you to set up your account.

There are two servers:
puma, the windows server
voyager, the linux server

The set-up process will give you a pair of accounts, one on each of these servers.

You only need one pair of accounts. If you are taking two CIS courses, you only need to set up your accounts once.

In a CIS classroom or the CIS lab, you can set up your accounts at the beginning of the term (not later).
