Overview
The following procedure is to help accommodate clients that are currently using two separate accounts for "Client" and "Learner" network access.

If you have not read our overview information regarding:
Network Access at SCC
You will need to prior to continuing.

A warning: This increased functionality makes it even more important that you practice good password habits. If you aren't careful, you can make it easy for someone else to access your office machine or personal network files. Do not share your password with students, even those who work for you, and do not leave your computer unattended when you are logged into the network.

Getting Started: Security equivalence between contexts has to be set up by a Network Systems Administrator. Send a request notating the accounts in each context you wish to have equivalent and a return E-Mail address to SIREN Support. Your request will be forwarded to the appropriate administrator. Once you have security equivalence between your accounts, here's the procedure. (These instructions sound complicated, but after you get the hang of it, the process is really easy!)

For Windows users--
