There are several username/password combinations you need for this course. Hopefully, this will help you (and us) keep them straight. All of the accounts have the same user names, but different passwords.
- SFU Computing Account: This account is the one that all SFU students (and faculty and staff) get. It is used to retrieve your @sfu.ca email. All email sent to the course email list will go to this address (unless you have forwarded it elsewhere). This account is also used for Caucus, WebCT, and many other computing resources on-campus.
You activate this account, go to my.sfu.ca and click the “Apply for ID” link. You need to enter your student number and some other personal information. You should contact the ACS Help Desk for problems with this account.
- ACS Lab Account: This account is used to access the computers in any of the ACS labs on campus. You can do your work for this course in these labs if you wish.
Your password on this account is the same as your SFU Computing Account. If you have a new account, you should be able to log in with no problem. If your account is older, you will have to synchronize your Active Directory password. This is a one time process and can be done on the web. You can contact the ACS Help Desk for problems with this account.
More information on using the labs is available.
- CSIL Lab Account: This account is used to access the computers in the CSIL labs, which are run the Computing Science. You can do your work for this course in these labs if you wish.
Your password on this account is the same as your SFU Computing Account. You will need an access card to get in the door; you can get the access card by the second week of classes at the Security office.
