Unix System Account Procedures

AccessNet Account Procedures

Fall 2002

All CIS students who do not currently have a Temple computer account may obtain an AccessNet account. An AccessNet account allows you to log in and use Temple University's computer resources, including the Astro Unix system, Blackboard, and the Cherry & White Pages.

Procedure for student accounts

All CIS students who do not currently have a Temple computer account will be assigned an AccessNet account. Students have two options for opening an account: they can open an account online or at any of the Account Centers listed on the back page of this document.

A student can open an account online if he/she has been registered for 24 hours. To open an account online, go to the Account Activation website at:

http://accounts.temple.edu

and follow the directions to obtain your AccessNet username and
password.

To open an account at one of the Account Centers, students must bring a validated Temple ID to receive their accounts. For security reasons, no account information will be given out by phone or e-mail or distributed to third persons.

Procedure for special situations

There may be exceptions to the eligibility requirements mentioned above, such as:

Students who are not currently enrolled in CIS classes but who are finishing an incomplete CIS course, or

CIS Graduate Assistants who do not have a validated ID due to financial processing.

In these cases, students should contact Jackie Harriz (215-204-1614) in the CIS Department, 3^rd floor of Wachman Hall. Computer Services
