Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between EIT and ECC accounts and E-mail systems. How do I initialize and coordinate both E-mail systems?
  • Why two accounts?
  • Features of Each Account
  • Step by Step Procedure for Activating Each Account and E-mail System



    • Why Two Accounts?
    Two accounts and access to two e-mail systems are automatically made available when each engineering student registers. One account is created because the student is enrolled in engineering and pays the Engineering Technology Fee and the second account is created because the student pays University fees. Therefore each engineering student has an Engineering College Computing (ECC) account and a University Educational & Information Technology (EIT) account.

    Features of Each Account
    Feature ECC Account EIT Account
    Lab access All 13 ECC labs and user services area. Labs in  SU, CL, RH
    Permanent storage on central file server accessible from any lab machine 1GB(u:\ on Windows machines or $HOME on UNIX machines) 50MB
    Email Stored on eng server (10,000,000 byte single message limit) Stored on floppy when accessed from engineering computer (1.4 MB single message limit)
    Laser Printing  2000 prints per semester in ECC labs ($0.10 after that, in $5.00 increments--additional print quota can be purchased by visiting the ECC secretary in NI-1010.) Printing is also possible with EIT lab account (use #2 on the UT Request menu to activate.)
    Access to application software Access to extensive software from ECC labs (p: or programs disk on NT and UNIX machines) Generally limited to MS Office
    Dial-in/Remote Access Through EIT EIT runs all dial-in modems for the University and one needs a separate account & password for access. (use #2 on the UT Request menu to activate.)
