Regarding: Useful Account and Computing Information for Fall 2001

Welcome to the University of Illinois Fall 2001 semester.  The Computing
and Communications Services Office (CCSO) and the Office of the Chief
Information Officer (CIO) hope the information below will be useful to you.
Service improvements or changes from last year are denoted with an asterisk

1) If you're a new student, you'll need to activate your email account
and set an email password by visiting the CCSO Password Home Page at:

After clicking "Login to Password Home Page," you'll be asked to provide
your Network ID (NetID) and NetID password (the one used for U of I Direct,
the software that allows you to register for classes).

While at this page, you also can set a password for your Instructional
Computing Sites account, which will allow you to access the equipment and
software in the computer labs described in
