For Active Employees
How Do I Get Access?
You must have active College network access. Each department is responsible for providing network access to their staff. If you have not been given access or your access has expired, please see your supervisor for assistance.
If you are a new employee, when you are given network access for the first time, you will need to re-set your temporary password to a password that meets the following requirements:
- Passwords must be a minimum of eight (8) characters in length
- Passwords must contain characters from at least three (3) of the following categories:
- o Uppercase letter (A-Z)
- o Lowercase letter (a-z)
- o Digit (0-9)
- o Special character (for example ! $ # %)
- Passwords must not contain your account name or parts of your full name
Passwords can only be re-set by either logging into a computer or laptop directly connected to the College network (on-site) or by logging into Citrix via the College’s web page (off-site). The link for Citrix can be found in the top left hand corner of the College web page.
