What is
my username? |
|
|
Your
username is used for your college email address and to access
the college network. Most
usernames are the first initial of your first name followed
by your last name and then @tkc.edu. For example, if your
name is Polly Jones, your username is probably pjones@tkc.edu.
Since usernames must be unique, your username might not follow the
rules if that username already exists on our network. If you have forgotten your username, contact the IT
department by calling x7154 or email. |
|
|
|
|
What is
my password? |
|
|
The first
time you log onto our network, your password is Kings2007.
You will be asked to change your password. Please
remember that your password must be at least 8 characters long, must
contain one capital letter and at least one number. If you
have forgotten your password, the IT department can re-set it for
you. For security reasons, you will be asked to change
your password every 90 days. |

What is
the S: drive? |
|
|
When you
log into the King's network, your are automatically connected to a
disk drive on our network named the S: drive. If you go to
My Computer, you should see an S: drive listed. On this
drive you will find information for current classes. This includes folders for courses,
pictures of events, software, and other information of interest to
students. |
|
|
|
|
Anti-Virus Software |

on their laptop. We provide that software for you.
You can find a folder on your S: drive where that software
resides. The software is located in the Software folder on
the S: drive. It is your responsibility to install the software
on your laptop and keep the software up-to-date. Failure to
do so could result in loss of privileges on the network. |
