Information Technology manages a college-wide network that provides College of DuPage faculty and staff with central computing resources on their desktop. Common uses for computers on campus are:
E-mail Teaching and Learning Center Accessing the Internet	Accounting Financial Aid Student records
What do you need to do to get a computer account? A COD Enterprise Network account is your gateway to the College of DuPage network. This account allows you to login to the system and get e-mail. To get an account, fill out the COD Enterprise Network Account Request form found on the Employee Portal (http://inside.cod.edu), print, and obtain required signatures. (Complete instructions are linked to the form.) Send the completed form to Keith Conlee in Information Technology, SRC 2001. You will know your account is active when a copy of your form is returned to you through inter-campus mail. The Enterprise Network account form is also used to modify or discontinue access.

What if you need additional access privileges?

The same COD Enterprise Network Account Request form is key for gaining access to other systems. You will use this form to select all of the systems you need to access. For each additional application, you will fill out an additional form and attach this form to the Enterprise Network Account Request form. In most cases, your supervisor can direct you in selecting the appropriate applications needed in performance of your duties.

Frequently Asked Questions

• I just want an e-mail account. What form do I fill out?
  Fill out the Enterprise Network Account Request form and submit to Information Technology, SRC 2001.
  
  
• I have an account. How do I access my e-mail off-campus?
  You do not need another request form. Refer to Using Outlook Web Access for complete instructions.
  
  
• My employee left and I want to remove her access to the system. How do I do this?
  Use the Enterprise Network Account Request form to discontinue access for the former employee.
  
  
• I have a new employee and she needs access to the system. Should I just tell the new employee to sign on as the former employee?
  This is inadvisable for security reasons. Use two Enterprise Network Account Request forms. One to discontinue access for the former employee, and one to obtain access for the new.
  
  
• How do I know what access I need?
  Your supervisor should be able to advise you in which systems you will be using to perform your job duties.
