How do I Log On to the Instructor Workstation in the College Labs?

You can log on to the faculty workstations by using your email logon name and password, on the AD domain.

Logging on to the Instructor workstations (College Labs): Turn on the monitor by pressing the button on the front of the Monitor, if it is not already turned on; notice that a green light appears right next to the button showing the power on.  Turn on the CPU. After the system boots up you will be prompted to sign in. Enter your username as the Login name and enter your network/email password as the Password.  The Domain will be AD, e.g.:

USERNAME: xsmith
PASSWORD: your password here
DOMAIN: AD

If you experience any problems logging in to the faculty workstation with your username and password please contact Serena Lin at extension 7960.
