College Computing Facilities
The College has a computer room with a number of networked PCs, a double sided and single sided printer, a scanner, a DVD writers and a number of CD writers as well as providing Internet access, Office applications and a range of other software. This room is accessible 24 hours a day.
Access to the College computer room
You will be issued with the details of an account to the computer room in your welcome pack. If you have not received your account details, please contact the IT Department who will provide you with these. Note. This account is completely different to any other accounts, and is used exclusively for access to the Green Templeton College computers.
The code for the door is available from the lodge, as is your College barrier key which are both required for access.
Printing
Printing is free, but you must provide your own paper. The lodge have paper for sale. See information on how to print in the GTC Computer Room.
Floppy disks / Recordable CDs
The lodge can sell floppy disks and recordable CDs when available. Guides to using the CD Rewriters (available on every machine), and the DVD Rewriters can be found by opening 'My Computer', and opening the Y: drive, which maps to 'Network Documents'.
User space on the College filestore
All students when logged in will have access to the College filestore, for saving work on the College servers. This filestore is personal and secure, and is backed up to tape on a regular basis. Your can save your files either in 'My Documents', on the 'Desktop' or if you open 'My Computer' there is a drive mapped as S:. The My documents and Desktop folders within S: are the same as those you see on your desktop, so do not delete these folders!
Students have a server disk allocation of 500MB. Please only use this for work files, try not to fill the server up with your music collection, etc. This server is backed up to tape on a regular basis, so I recommend keeping a fairly recent copy of important work you can't afford to lose on the College server. If you need more space, please contact the IT office to arrange this.
Password policy
Paswords expire annually, and need to be 6 characters or more. You will be prompted to change your password once it has expired - please do so immediately.
Remote file access over the web
You can now access files and folders stored on the College server from over the web. This will make backing up key files much easier. See instructions on how to access your filestore remotely.
