Summary overview of Computer Resources available to Faculty and Staff at CCSF (duplicates info on this page): Word PDF
All full- or part-time CCSF Faculty or Staff are entitled to the following computer accounts:
- A CCSF Windows network account. This account enables logging into any networked Faculty/Staff Windows computer on any networked CCSF campus. This account also gives you access to your own drive on the network. So, you can save documents to your network drive at Chinatown and retrieve them at Mission — but only if you use your own login and password to access your account. For more information, click the Network link on this site.
- A GroupWise email account, accessible from any computer (Windows or Mac) via the Internet Explorer browser. A more full-featured program is available on all Faculty/Staff Windows computers within the CCSF campus network. For more information, see the GroupWise for Windows page.
After receiving their network and GroupWise accounts: Faculty/Staff folks who want to use a shared iMac in a teacher’s lounge or common area or who have a Mac on their office desk top should arrange for a personal account on the CCSF Mac(s) that they designate. Either email Sue Bettinger (for Ocean and 33 Gough campuses: sbetting@ccsf.edu) or call the Help Desk (230-3711) for such accounts.
This information is repeated on the Request for CCSF Network Login and GroupWise Email form. There is more info on the Mac Accounts page.
- Other Accounts: For creating Web pages on the fog server, and, for those that need them, accounts on the Banner system.
