Faculty Windows and WestConn Email Accounts
Windows Account
If you wish to use any of the computer facilities at the University (computers centers,
technology classrooms, offices, etc.), you must obtain a Windows account. The purpose
of a Windows account is to provide users access to the University’s computers, software,
and network. Any faculty member can receive a Windows account by sending
or having their department chair or department secretary send a message to Request
University Computing via WestConn Email or request_university_computing@wcsu.edu.
To log into the WCSU network (your Windows account), you must enter three pieces
of information:
| Username: | The username assigned to you by University Computing. |
| Password: | Your Windows password. A temporary password is assigned to you when you receive your Windows account. Upon first login, users are prompted to change their password. Passwords are case-sensitive, and must contain three of the following four classes: upper-case, lower-case, numeric, non-alphanumeric (symbols). |
Windows passwords will expire every 60 days. If you forget your password, contact the University Computing Help Desk at (203) 837-8467.
