General Information about the IVCC Computer Resource Center – CRC - Building-D

1.         Each student enrolled in a class at Illinois Valley Comm. College has been assigned a login i.d. for our computer network.  The i.d. consists of the first three letters of your last name and the last four digits of your social security number.    For example, my i.d. would be ise9234.

2.               Your initial password for the system is your entire social security number without any spaces or hyphens.

3.               You must change your password immediately and then again each month to use the network.  The password should be something that you can easily remember and that is unique.  A pamphlet is available in the lab outlining the procedures to change your password.

4.               LRC-D is an open lab that will not have any classes scheduled in it.  There will also be a lab assistant to instruction or student lab assistants in this lab to assist you in your computing endeavors.
