Starting with the Fall Semester, 2007, ECS will only be collecting an account fee twice per year, during the Fall and the Spring Semesters.  We will no longer collect a fee during the summer.  Accounts will not be disabled during the summer.  However, if you receive an email notification that your password is due to expire, you still need to act on that notice.

All Engineering undergraduate and graduate students are automatically assigned accounts on the ECS PC and UNIX machines.  Your account username is the same on each system.  Your password is initially set by ECS to the lower case character a, followed by the eight-digit University ID number.  You must change your password immediately, otherwise the password will expire. You can change your password online by logging on to ECS change password.

At the beginning of each semester, a list of all undergraduate and graduate accounts is posted on the wall outside Marcus 132.  If your name is not there, please contact an ECS staff member in the main office in Marcus 100. If you do not have an account, you will need to fill out a student account application form, and submit it to the ECS main office. Your account will normally be set up within 1 business day.
