Student Computer Network Account

What is a Student Computer Network Account?

This account permits you to connect to the College computer network and is required to use computers on campus.  The instructions for logging on are the same as for COCC email. For assistance with account problems contact the Pioneer Computer Lab at 383-7722.

How do I get a Student Computer Network Account? 

• Students (Credit) are eligible for a COCC Network Account as follows:
  • COCC Students, as soon as they are admitted
  • OSU-Cascades as soon as they are enrolled in classes
• Student accounts will be automatically generated within 24 hours of becoming eligible. Account information will be included in the admittance information which is sent via mail to each student. 
• See Eligibility for a Student Email Account below for information about deactivation. 

What can I do with my Student Computer Network Account?

• On the COCC campus (Bend or Redmond)
  Use our computers to access the Internet, your email account, and software which the College provides through the campus network (word processing, spreadsheets, etc.). You will also have access to your own "My Documents" folder located on our server. 
  • My Documents Folder
    This folder is your own private space on our network making it very important that you log off when finished.  Students are allowed 200MB of disk space on the COCC file server. You will be warned when you have reached 190MB of space.
• Tip:  When you log on to one of our computers you are also logged into your COCC email account.  Look on the desktop for the shortcut.
• Off campus 
  You do not have access to your Network Account off campus.

What Happens if I go over the 200MB of Space Allowed?

• You will receive a warning via COCC email that you have reached 190MB of space, since the limit is set to 200MB you will need to start deleting or moving files.
• You can move your files to another type of File Storage.
• If you reach 200MB you will no longer be able to save files to the "My Documents" folder.
• You may need to contact a Lab Attendant for help deleting files.
• If it appears that all of your files have "disappeared" a Lab Attendant can help you.
• How can I check my available space?
• Right mouse click on your "My Documents" folder
• Click on Properties and then the General tab
• Size will tell you how much space you have used
