| Why do we have to use student accounts? |
|
- Individual accounts allow you to have private network
storage space to save your homework files to. Other students
can’t access your storage space.
- This also helps eliminate the need for floppy diskettes
which can sometimes be unreliable.
- Faculty have access your network drive. This provides
an easy way to turn in homework.
