Unix, Windows,
Wireless, Blackboard,
and other services,
may be requested
by using one
of the following
three methods:
The following information must be supplied in order to
acquire a new account:
The classifications of
users below may use this system to request accounts. A&T students who require accounts are asked to call Aggie Tech Support at 334-7195.
New users should read our Computing and Networking
and Lab Usage
Policies which
can be found at http://doit.ncat.edu/policies/comp-policy.pdf and http://www.ncat.edu/~cit/policies/lab-policy.pdf,
respectively.
Account creation requests are completed within 48-72
hours. However,
most accounts
will be available
in fewer than
24 hours. Specific
availability information will be provided during
account acquisition.
A user is assigned
an AggieKEY
(also known as
a login name,
username or userid)
that, in conjunction
with a password,
permits him/her
to access a given computer system. This
username/password
pair may be used
by a single individual
only. Passwords
and usernames may not be shared
or transferred.
University computer systems are for use only by the
faculty, staff and students of North Carolina A & T
State University. Students are permitted to retain their accounts upon graduation. All accounts are to be used exclusively
to promote the furtherance of education or for very
limited personal use and are not to be used for commercial
purposes, or to harass others in any way.
Unnecessarily
large e-mail messages and large volumes of e-mail
are considered abusive. We ask that users consider
sending regular text messages in place of e-mail attachments
whenever possible. E-mail account holders should be
courteous and considerate of others at all times and
are responsible for keeping their accounts clean by
periodically removing old messages and copies of sent
messages. Although the Division of Information Technology
(DoIT) will make a reasonable effort to backup the
information stored on this system for disaster recovery
purposes, we are not responsible for restoring the
contents of individual mail boxes nor is the University
responsible for damages due to the loss of data under
any circumstances. We do not censor e-mail and are,
therefore, not responsible for the content of e-mail
messages that you may receive. However, active measures
are taking place in order to reduce the amount of
unsolicited e-mail messages that are received by our
e-mail server.
Failure to abide
by these guidelines or participation in activities that
could be viewed by a reasonable person as inappropriate
or abusive may result in the termination of your eligibility
for an account on University computer systems. Furthermore,
abuses of these terms could be viewed to be in violation
of University conduct policies and be subject to disciplinary
action contained therein.
Computer account
changes and deactivation requests should be forwarded
to Aggie Tech Support at 336-334-7195.
Employee accounts will be removed upon termination
of employment.
Inactive student
computer accounts
will be disabled
after six (6)
months of inactivity.
Students will
have six (6) months after an account has
been disabled
to reactivate
their account.
If after this
six month period the account is still disabled,
the account and
all associated
data will be
irreversibly
purged. Employees
and students who re-establish
a relationship
with the University
after an account
has been purged
will need to
obtain a new computer account.
