Training and Badging
If you are a shortlong-term visitor to SUNCAT (<30 >30 days in a 12-month period) who does not or you need access to the computer farm you do not need to complete these steps (need training and a badge. If you are a short-term visitor you will still be able to access the internet through the wireless network )without training/badge.
After you receive a computer account, you can start taking any necessary training courses here.
Getting An Account
There are If you need access to the computers, or you are a longer-term visitor, there are two important steps that should be completed before you arrive. Not completing these in advance can delay your computer account activation by up to a week:
...
- you need to select at least "unix" to use the farm. you can also select a windows account if you think you would use it (most short-term people would not).
- for email preferences select "none" if you are going to be short-term with the group (this will forward your email to the existing address you entered on the form). most longer term people choose "exchange" for their email, but some unix gurus prefer "unix" email.
- leave the "computer czar/group" fields near the bottom blank (those will be filled in by the computer czar)
