Computing Account - ACE

Computing accounts provide students with access to campus computer labs using their ACE username and password. A computing account comes with the following features:

• Access the computers and software available in any general computer lab
• Personal File Storage! Receive 100 MB of storage space, commonly referred to as a Home Directory, on the network server. By saving your work on the network you can access your files from any computer on or off campus!
• Print in a lab. All accounts start with an initial Print Balance of $1.00. Every time you print in a general computer lab money will automatically be deducted. The cost is $0.03 for every black and white and $0.40 for every color print per page. Add money to your account with you RebelCard (cash is not accepted).
• Personal website: use your home directory to host your own website.
• Class files: Many instructors have course materials accessible on the network file storage, referred to as the Classes Drive. Contact the help desk or your instructor for more information.
