How to Access Your Personal Drive and E-mail AccountUsing Your Student Personal DriveAs an enrolled student at Tri-County Community College you have been given an area on our server where you can save your schoolwork. To access this drive on our campus computers you turn on the computer and wait for the Novell login screen to appear.

Logging in to Your Personal DriveWhen the Novell login screen comes up, type your username in the first line of the screen. Your username is the first 4 letters of your last name plus the last four digits of your student ID number.

Example 1 – Suppose my last name is Smith and my Student ID number is 1234567. My username would be smit4567.

Example 2 – Suppose my last name is Carpenter and my student ID number is 9876543. My username would be Carp6543.

The first time you use your personal drive, the password will be changeme. You will be asked, however, to select a new password for the future. Be sure you remember this password because it will be known only by you.

You can access your personal drive by clicking on My Computer. This will show a “P:” drive with your username. Double-click on this drive to open it.

Saving Your Data to Your Personal DriveWhen you prepare a class-related document, you can save it in your personal drive by clicking on File-Save. At the top of the Save File screen, click on the down arrow to the right of My Documents. One of the choices should be a P: drive showing your username. Click on this choice; give your file a name; and click on Save. You will now be able to get back to this file when you click on My Computer and go to your P: drive.

Your E-Mail AccountAs an enrolled student, you have been given a Tri-County e-mail account. To access that account you need to open the browser (probably Internet Explorer) on your computer. In the address bar at the top of the screen, type the address webmail.tricountycc.edu and then hit the enter key. This brings you to the opening page of our student e-mail server. Click on the go button.

Logging in to your E-mail AccountYou are now asked for your username and password. Your username is the first four letters of your last name plus the last four digits of your student ID number.

Example 1 – Suppose my last name is Smith and my Student ID number is 1234567. My username would be smit4567.

Example 2 – Suppose my last name is Carpenter and my student ID number is 9876543 . My username would be Carp6543.

The initial password for everyone is changeme. Click on the login button to view your e-mail.

Changing Your E-mail PasswordWe suggest that you change your password so that others cannot access your account. To change the password, sign on to your account using the provided password. Then click on the middle button at the top of the screen. Type your old password (changeme) on the first line. Type your new password on the next two lines. Click Save.

Closing Your E-mailWhen you are ready to leave your e-mail account, always click on the third button at the top of the screen ( the arrow that points to the left). This will close your account so others cannot access it. Enjoy your e-mail account.
