Log On to Public Computers Using Your Allegheny Username

As of today, 9/17/07, all members of the Allegheny Community must log on using a their Allegheny username and password.

The most typical problem being experienced is an inability to log on because the user has not set their password using the online password change form. This form is accessible from any computer on the internet, thus users are encouraged to change their password before heading to a public lab.

User Services is ready to help users that do not have access to a networked computer or experiencing problems setting passwords using the online form. Users needing help are encouraged to contact User Services at ext 2755 or better yet visit Murray between 8:00 and 5:00pm Monday - Friday.

Seven Days Left to Reset Your Password

On September 17, 2007 the ability to log on public computers at Allegheny College using the "gator" log on will no longer be possible.

All users who have not done so already, need to go to the online form and change their password to something new based on the following rules.
1. Your password must be between 8 and 20 characters long.
2. You must include at least one of each of the following:
* Uppercase letter
* Lowercase letter
* Number
* Non-alphanumeric character ( !, @, #, etc )

Once you have completed this form users will be able to log on to public computers, check email or ftp files using the same username and password. Questions or difficulties with this should be directed to User Services at ext 2755 or by email at computing@allegheny.edu.
