Internet Access |
The University creates Internet accounts for all staff and faculty. Your account won't be usable until you "initiate" it by defining a password. Your Internet account gives you 1 GB of file storage space on a University server, and 20 MB for a personal Web site. To set your Internet password, call the Technology Helpline at 612-301-4357 (1-HELP) |
