Getting accounts

In 2002-2004 a Desktop Upgrade project rolled out almost 2000 new and refurbished computers to all full time faculty and staff at all campuses of City College and provided computer access to part-timers. Chancellor Day initiated the project to create an environment with unified hardware, operating systems and applications in which faculty and staff can use technology efficiently and effectively.

Getting your Computer/GroupWise Email/Network Accounts

A few groups may not yet have participated in the Desktop Upgrade:

	Part-Timers
	New Hires
	Those on sick/disability leave or on sabbatical

In order to be able to use a CCSF computer (Mac or PC) and to receive a GroupWise email account these arrangements have been made:

Windows XP desktop users:

CCSF Faculty or Staff (full- or part-time) using Windows computers can either:

1. Attend a Technology Learning Center (TLC) Getting Your Accounts or GroupWise Windows or Web basics workshop The TLS workshop schedule is available at http://www.ccsf.edu/tlc (click the Training link).
OR

2.      Obtain from an ITS staff person or call the Help Desk (415.239.4711) a Request for CCSF Network Login and GroupWise Email form.
Submit it as directed on the form in order to open the following CCSF accounts:

ü     A CCSF Windows network (Active Directory) account. This account enables logging into any networked Faculty/Staff Windows computer on any CCSF campus.

ü     GroupWise email account, accessible from any computer (Windows or Mac) via the Internet Explorer browser. (A more full-featured Windows-only program is also available on Faculty/Staff Windows computers within the CCSF network).

Macintosh users:

Faculty or Staff 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 call the Help Desk (239-3711) to set up personal accounts on the CCSF Mac(s) that they designate.

Mac users should attend a GroupWise Web basics workshop and/or submit the Request for CCSF Network Login and GroupWise Email form before requesting a Mac account.
