Introduction to MVNU
Technology
aka
IT 101
Welcome to IT 101! Our plan is to introduce you to a few basic
technology items. We designed this to be short and to the point –
only 8 slides. The last two slides are a few suggested exercises that will
put you on better footing for the beginning of classes. If you have
already been into your MVNU email account and created your
my.MVNU.edu account, you can stop immediately, return to the
checklist and mark completed. If you need some basic information
then continue on.
First, an explanation of a few concepts …
Technology Accounts
You will be using several computer systems while
attending MVNU. Three of the first systems are the
network, email, and my.MVNU.edu. All three of these
use the same login name (ex: jsmith for John Smith).
The initial password for the network and email is your
ID number. However, the password for
my.MVNU.edu is created by you.
The Network and Email
You will use the MVNU network to access documents,
spreadsheets, videos, etc for classes. You are also able to store
your documents here. Each student is allocated 100 megabytes
of space.
Email can be accessed either by the web (webmail.mvnu.edu) or
a software program on a MVNU owned computer. For
students who want to load the software on their personal
computer, a Novell Groupwise CD can be checked out at the
library.
my.MVNU.edu
my.MVNU.edu is another computer system that organizes many systems
into one access point. It also contains your personal MVNU information
such as chapel attendance, privacy codes, financial aid, classes and grades,
directories, vehicle registration, registration and billing, roommate, and
post office box combination.
Your account on my.MVNU.edu is not setup automatically. You must
select ‘Create my account’ on the left side of the web page.
Simply typing my.MVNU.edu in a web browser will get you to the login.
You will need to access this to confirm for classes.
