A Network Account is required for accessing any CCAC Network Resources.  Acquiring a Network Account allows you to log-in to the CCAC network from any campus PC, use local PC software and resources, and access remote data on the network for collaboration.  Without a Network Account, you cannot log-in or use any campus PC or any CCAC Network Resources.

Everyone using the network should be aware of the CCAC policies regarding network access. 

This one login ID and password are used to access:

• Outlook Email: both at your campus PC and using Outlook Web Access
• Blackboard Distance Learning
• Academic Email and Web Publishing (faculty)
• Personal and Shared Network Drives
• Gartner IT Research portal
• Library Resources (EBSCOhost)

When clicking on the network account request form link, you will have the option to open the file or save it to your computer.  When you have opened the form, please complete the fields on the form (All BOLD fields are REQUIRED).  In order to streamline computer account requests for new employees please email the completed form to one of the following ITS personnel in the TO: field and send to your ITS Field Director.

To Request a Change to an Existing Network Account

All requests for changes and deactivations must go through the Human Resources department.  If an employee is leaving your department, you can discuss your needs with the HR staff to determine the best way to set delegate access and maintain business continuity.  Human Resources staff will initiate change requests with the ITS department.

Passwords

Once you receive your network username and initial password, you will reset your password to one that you can remember.   Keep your passwords private; this plays an important role in keeping CCAC information assets secure.  See passwords and password change procedures.
