Logging into the campus network gives you access to network printers and network drives.Your personal network drive, H:, is where you can and should store your data, as this drive is backed up nightly by CTIS (Computer, Technology and Information Services).

You must also login to Novell in order to be able to use the Internet, campus e-mail account (NetMail), and other network applications.

Your username is your last name, first initial, followed by a number, typically 1; however this number could be different if someone has the same last name and initial as you.
