How to Log Into Your Novell Account
from a Mac OS X Workstation

Before you can login to your Novell account, you need to know your Username and password.

Accounts created after Jan 4, 2004

Unless there's a duplicate, your username will be the first 5 letters of your last name, the first letter of your first name, and the last two digits of your Campus ID number. The initial password is set to the full 7-digit Campus ID number. To verify your username, search the On-line Directory.

Accounts created before Jan 4, 2004

For all accounts created before January 4, 2004, student usernames are the first 5 letters of their last name + the first letter of their first name + the last 2 digits of their SSN. The initial password is the student's SSN without any dashes or spaces. For example, Jane J. Smith has a SSN of 123-45-6799, so her username is smithj99 and her initial password is 123456799.
