1. Get your SUNet IDLast revision January 12, 2006 Everyone at Stanford gets a SUNet (Stanford University Network) identification, which provides access to University-wide resources, and provides campus-wide authentication. You will need it to access the general campus computer clusters, many administrative web pages, site-licensed software, and dial-in modems. You can request your SUNet ID at this web site: http://www.stanford.edu/group/itss/services/sunetid Choose your SUNet ID name wisely - you will never be able to change it! If you are a regular student, faculty, or staff, you will receive a full-service SUNet ID for free access to all campus computer services; you will need to supply your student, faculty, or staff ID and PIN numbers. For visitors and guests, you can apply for a sponsored (guest) SUNet ID on the above web page. You must get a faculty or staff member who has a full service SUNet ID to sponsor you. Normally, this would be a department administrator or research group principal investigator. Tell this person the SUNet ID name you have selected. He or she can then find your SUNet ID on the Sponsorship Manager web site (use the FIND a person link) and sponsor you. Most visitors and guests in Earth Sciences only need a no-cost "basic services" sponsored SUNet ID, which authenticates you to computers like pangea. This permits registration of the visitor's computer on our network, access to some Stanford-restricted web sites, and qualification for a pangea guest account and thus access to computing services, including email, in the School of Earth Sciences. If a visitor needs access to central university computer clusters and services (such as central email), he/she needs a full-services sponsored SUNet ID, which has a charge of $12 per month. If you get a full-service SUNet ID, you can update your personal information (address, phone number, etc) in the Stanford directory; decide where email sent to you at your general @stanford.edu address should forward, change your SUNet password, and perform other account maintenance at: http://stanfordyou.stanford.edu/ Check the SUNet IDs and Services web page for more information about what you can do with your SUNet ID. Specifically, note that all access to central University services, including email (at your @stanford.edu address) and email forwarding, terminates immediately when you leave the University, except that students have a 120 day grace period. School of Earth Sciences services (including @pangea.stanford.edu email) generally persist for six months after you leave the University, or longer with faculty sponsorship. Email forwarding from an @pangea.stanford.edu address may also continue indefinitely after you leave, if desired. The next step to access School of Earth Sciences resources is to set up your pangea account.
