Student Accounts
What are the different types of student accounts and their functions?
Microsoft-Active Directory (AD)
Used to:
Login to the lab machines
Access your home directory to save your personal files (X: drive on PCs), students can store up to 1 GB of data.
Access the Shared drive (S: on PCs) to share files with other students.
Portal Login
Used to access the resources on the portal and provides single-logon authentication for email, Blackboard, and Banner-Web. The authentication piece talks directly to RADIUS (currently).
Not primary login authentication resource anymore (google authentication for banner, workday, housing registration, etc.)
Individuals with 901 and 902 ASU ID# will not be able to login to applications that use Portal login.
Blackboard
The institution's Learning Management System (LMS) is available to all students. However, only courses that have a Blackboard component will appear.
Support for Blackboard is available at the Academic Instructional Technology Center, located in MCD 115. Support is also available by phone at 719-587-7371, or via email at asaitc@adams.edu
Student Email Account
Provides each student with email access. There is a link off the portal page or can be accessed directly at https://www.google.com/a/adams.edu.
Student email will now be used to authenticate into many applications provided by ASU such as blackboard, workday, housing registration, etc.
Access to Google Drive.
Student Web Site
Students will use Google Sites. Simply log in to https://sites.google.com with your student account. You will be able to name your site however you like, and it will be accessible at https://sites.google.com/a/adams.edu/"your_site_name" where "your_site_name" is the name you choose. Google Sites is a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) tool, which also disallows the use of HTML, CSS, and Javascript uploading.
Workday
Students will use this system to manage their student accounts. Such managements will include student finances, accepting financial aid, registering for courses, making sure contact, home address, and other student records are correct.
