1. Get your SUNet IDLast revision September 17, 2008 Everyone at Stanford needs a SUNet (Stanford University Network) identification, which provides authentication and access to computing resources throughout the university. You will need it to access the School of Earth Sciences servers, general campus computer clusters, many administrative web sites, site-licensed software, and the Axess web site. 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. Normally, your department administrator or research group principal investigator will sponsor you. 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. There are two types of sponsored guest SUNet IDs: a no-cost "base-services" guest ID; and a "full-services" guest ID that costs $16/month, which must be charged to a university financial account. The "base-services" guest ID allows you to access some protected web sites and register your own computer for campus network access. To use the School of Earth Sciences file server, computer clusters, and plotters, guests and visitors need a "full-services" guest ID. A full-service guest ID also provides an @stanford.edu email account and access to the central university computer clusters. Maintenance of your SUNet ID, such as changing your SUNet password, updating your personal information (address, phone number, etc) in the Stanford directory, and forwarding email sent to you at your @stanford.edu email address (regular and full-service guest IDs only) is done by logging into the StanfordYou website. Check the SUNet IDs and Services web page for more information about what you can do with your SUNet ID. Specifically, note how your SUNet ID enters inactive status after you leave the university. Once inactive, you lose all access to university computing services, including email (at your @stanford.edu address), email forwarding, and connections to the School of Earth Sciences file server.
