Faculty and Staff Network
Faculty and staff network accounts provide access to network resources such as printing, shared folder resources on servers such as Socrates and Zeus, and Internet access. Network accounts are available to all faculty and staff members and are authenticated through the Servnet domain.
When you start up your computer, you are greeted with a network logon dialog box:
First, enter your Username, which is typically your first initial and your last name. If you are unsure of your username, please contact the Help Desk for assistance.
Next, enter your Network Password. Your password must be 6-8 characters in length and include at least one number. DO NOT share your password with anyone. About every six months you will be prompted to change your password in order ensure privacy and security for your network account.
If you have trouble logging into your network account, or if you have forgotten your password, please contact the Help Desk for assistance. If you logon unsuccessfully three times in a row, your network account may be locked out, for security purposes, and you will need to contact the Help Desk to have your password reinstated.

Your CARS password is separate from any other password and is inherent to the CARS program. Although your CARS password may be the same as your network password, they are not related in any way . Your user name for CARS is the same as your Network user name. You may generate your own password. If you should forget your password at any time, you may contact the Help Desk to have it reset. Just as your network password expires about every six months, your CARS password will do the same. You may also be locked out of your CARS account after 3 unsuccessful login attempts resulting in an error that your account has been "disabled". This is a security feature of benefit to you. You may contact the Help Desk to regain access to your account.
