Eagle Staff

•   Students are issued unique usernames/passwords for various services,  including Sakai, MyCSC, EagleMail, and campus computer access/network registration.

•   Back up your files on your SkyDrive in addition to jump drives.

•   Downloading copyrighted files?   Make sure you have the right to do so!  CSC disconnects computers reported by the RIAA.

•   Be Green!   Minimize printing and copying in labs!

•   Copies can be made on Canon copiers in the Library Lab and High Rise lab.  Copies are paid for by you through your technology fee fund.
