Engineering Computer Account Policies Engineering Computer Account Policies
CSS creates an Engineering computer account for all incoming engineering students. Students can get their account information from the CSS Main Office, 1256 SC, M-F, 8am-noon and 1-5pm.
Engineering students accounts are active while the student is enrolled in the College of Engineering. During any semester that a student is not registered for classes, the account may be temporarily inactivated. Accounts remain active during internships or coop experiences.
After graduation, a student account remains active for approximately 28 days after the beginning of the next semester. If you graduate in the spring or summer, your account remains active until 28 days after the start of the fall semester. CSS sends two email notices before inactivating student accounts.
To prepare for no longer having an Engineering computer account, please read about account inactivation.
Graduate assistants teaching engineering classes who are not engineering students are eligible for an account for the duration of their appointment as a teaching assistant. Research assistants working with engineering professors who are not engineering students are eligible for an account only if the engineering faculty sponsor has privately owned equipment with which to support the research account.
All College of Engineering staff and faculty, visiting researchers, and visiting scholars are eligible for an Engineering account for the duration of their employment with the College of Engineering. Access to the computing resource will be terminated immediately upon notification that an individual is no longer employed by the College of Engineering. Inactive accounts will be archived at the end of each fall, spring, and summer semesters. An inactive account is one that has not been logged into for 6 months after the password has expired. Archived files are available for a limited amount of time, not less than 1 year.
If you have questions about account eligibility, please call or visit the Computer Systems Support main office, 1256 Seamans Center, 335-5751.
