Accounts for Students
If you are a UNT Student, you already have a Novell account. It's called a UNT Student Storage (UNTSS) account. Your UNTSS account will be activated the first time you login to it. With a UNTSS account, you can login on any General Access Computer Lab computer. A UNT Student Storage (UNTSS) account has several benefits:- 25 MB (megabytes) of storage:This is your own personal storage space, and is represented by the H: drive letter on the computer when you login.
- Portability:Your H: drive will be available whenever you login to your UNTSS account on a computer managed by Arts and Sciences or the General Access Labs, so your files will always be there for you, regardless of which computer you use.
- Web-accessible:You can also login to your UNTSS account via the Web, which means you can access your account from your home computer and upload files to your UNTSS network storage space, or download files from your UNTSS account to your home computer. No need to carry around a floppy disk or Zip® disk, which can be lost or damaged.
Forget Your Password?
If you can't remember your UNTSS account password, or want to change it, you can reset your password by going to UNT's Account Management System and selecting the Reset Password function. Please note that this will also reset your EagleMail password.Accounts for CAS Student Employees
