Login Accounts
 
Each student and staff member has been given a Windows Workstation Login Accounts. Depending upon your identity and security clearance, your Windows account gives you access to all the workstations in St. Mary's, and your own personal U: drive, student / staff public drives as well.
 

Since the computing services are provided by various platforms, systems as well as service providers, the passwords cannot be unified among different accounts set up on different system even though your user names / login IDs may be the same across different platforms, such as email and eclass. Thus, you are strongly advised to use the same password, if possible, across all platforms and remember to change your passwords for all platforms / systems in a consistent manner.

As a rule of thumb, the Login ID / User Name of a student is the Student ID / Admission No. printed on the Student Card, although the passwords of various systems and platforms may not be the same.

 
What You Need to Know
 
The use of this account, and the use of any computing services provided by the university, is covered by the Acceptable Use Policy and Guidelines (AUPG). We recommend you familiarize yourself with the rights and responsibilities described in the AUPG.
 
Change Password
 

Your password represents your security on the St. Mary's network and any associated services, so treat it with the same care you would your house keys or a credit card. Choose a new password that:

  • is not easy to guess
  • is between six and eight characters long
  • is NOT the name of a person or pet, OR a word from the dictionary
  • contains a mixture of characters, including at least two of the following: capital letters, lower case letters, numbers and simple punctuation
Nearly all the platforms come with a Change Password option that allows the users to change the password on their own. For the student Web / FTP server on w2.smcc-canossian.org, please follow the link to change the password.
 
Request for Password Reset for Various Accounts
 
Except for the eClass accounts which are supported by an online password service, please send your request to sysop@smcc-canossian.org.
