Individual Logins

Every NIC student has an individual login account that is newly created each semester. This account allows students to utilize NIC's network from any campus computer. The login also gives permission to use a personal 100mg storage folder for saving files. This folder is located on the 'Cardinal' volume under the student's login username.

• To log in from any campus computer:
  1) In the Novell login Username field, type the 7-digit student ID number (use lowercase letters).
  2) In the Password field, type your 6-digit birth date. E.g. for March 16, 1989, the password would be 031689.
  3) Click the OK button or press the Enter key, and another screen will appear.
  4) Click OK to the Windows workstation window (don't enter a password).

• To log in from a laptop using a wireless connection:

  1) Open a web browser on your laptop. The Blue Socket wireless login page will appear.
  2) If you want access to your Cardinal directory, you must enter a username and password under Registered Users. The User Name is the 7-digit student ID number (use lowercase letters)
  and the Password is the 6-digit birth date. E.g. for a student born on March 16, 1989, the password would be 031689. Click the checkbox next to 'I accept terms of service' and click on the login button.
  3) If Internet-only access is needed but not network directory access, then you can login under 'Guest' using any valid, personal e-mail address.
