Computer User Identification Number

It is necessary to obtain a Computer User Identification Number if you want to use the computers on the West Plains campus.

The procedures for assigning these numbers are:

1. The distance learning facilitator will be responsible for coordinating the assignment of the Computer User Identification Number to all students enrolled in distance learning courses.

2. During the first class session of each semester, the facilitator will ask students to complete the Student Computer User Identification Number Request form. Upon successful completion of this form, Computer Services will activate student passwords that will allow access to West Plains computers. Students who already have access to the system will not be required to complete this form.

3. The processing of these cards requires approximately two days, however it has taken as short as one day and as many as five days.

4. The Computer User Identification Number cards will be distributed by the facilitator as they arrive.

5. If necessary, students will be assisted implementing the use of these cards by Academic Support Center personnel in the Garnett Library.

6. Please report any computer usage problems to the facilitator. The facilitator will take the necessary action to resolve the problem.
