Your Computer Account - The Real Deal
At SHSU, your computer account is so much more than just a login name and password. Using your computer account grants you access to a computer 24 hours a day, five days a week in one of our many labs on campus and lots of weekend hours too. The labs include everything you need – scanners, printers, CD burners, ZIP drives and even lab assistants to help out when you have a question or problem. On campus, your computer account provides access to the many software applications that the University provides. Programs such as Dreamweaver, Word, Photoshop and Powerpoint make homework and web pages a snap. Don’t know how to use them? Our website has many Software Guides and Computer Services offers free seminars to students. Our Helpdesk also offers 24-hour tech support for SHSU equipment, software and services.
In addition to software access, you also have a “roaming” drive called the S drive that you have access to from any computer on campus. The S drive gives you 75 Mb of data space – plenty of room for essays, images and other documents. In addition to the S Drive, you also have 20 Mb of web space for your own SHSU web site. Web pages, pictures and other files can be uploaded to this space, and will be accessible on the Internet at your student web site http://www.shsu.edu/~username. There are also Software Guides, free seminars and tech support via Web Services for any problems or questions about web sites. While living in the residence halls, a computer account will give you access to free high-speed internet and the ability to connect to the S and T drives. Setup instructions are available in the Software Guides and support through the Helpdesk. Your account will also give you access to Blackboard, an online learning resource offered at SHSU. Many of the faculty use Blackboard to post syllabi, handouts, discussion boards, grades and more. | Back | |
