Members of the Dartmouth community must have an account to access many of the available computing resources.
For most people, as soon as you become affiliated with the College, a Dartmouth Name Directory (DND) account is automatically created. This account allows you access to many resources, such as e-mail, Library resources, site-licensed software, and public file servers. In some instances, you may need to request an account if you want to be able to access additional resources. For example, if you want to create a Web site and have it available on the Dartmouth Web server, you will need to request an account on the server named www.dartmouth.edu; if you need access to an administrative system, such as OASIS or BANNER, you will need to request an account for the appropriate system.
Below is a brief listing of the different types of accounts you may need, including a link to additional information about each specific type of account.
The Dartmouth Name Directory (DND) and BlitzMail Policy is what usually controls access to the primary computing resources at Dartmouth.
BlitzMail (E-mail) Accounts are created automatically for anyone who is listed in the DND.
Alumni accounts are created, maintained, and supported by the Office of Alumni Relations.
Web Server Accounts can be requested by anyone who has a DND entry.
Accounts that allow staff access to Administrative Systems and Software are set up differently depending upon the system requested.
Accounts on public UNIX workstations and Research Computing servers are created, maintained, and supported by Research Computing.
If you have questions about requesting an account, contact the IT Service Desk (Help Desk) at 646-2999 and select from the options provided, or electronic mail to help@dartmouth.edu, or contact your department's IT support office.
