====Welcome to the Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science====

__**Effective June 18, 2021: EECS email accounts will no longer be created!  All grad listserv emails will be sent to your YORKU email account (yuoffice.yorku.ca)**__


==Requesting an EECS user account==

**Why do you need an account within EECS?** \\
\\
Our department supports compute services for graduate and Ph.d students. Members are given an "EECS account" for ease of use within the department. This account is **different** from your "Passport York", the central, York University account because it accesses different resources from your PPY  account **although** it is the same username.
**EECS accounts** are used for logging into EECS computing systems, printing, accessing the research servers,EECS home directories that are backed up, Course distribution Lists, Internal EECS Grad Web sites, Room Bookings within Lassonde, Key Card Access to Building assigned to-specialized Lab Spaces, Administrative Areas and a series of other services you will discover as needed. Your "EECS" account comes with 1GB of data storage that is backed up nightly. 
**IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT SINCE THE START OF COVID19 and THE UNIVERSITY LOCKDOWN ACCESS, some services are not available such as printing , card access to the building, etc)**

==How do I change my password on the EECS servers==
You can change your password using https://webapp.eecs.yorku.ca/changepass


== For Technical Support , whom do I contact==
The department supports an email alias **"tech@eecs.yorku.ca"** . Any questions sent to this email will be handled by a group of dedicated professionals efficiently. This is always faster than sending email to the  individual team member's email address.
It's a good idea to always send an email to any requests even if you drop by a tech member's office for a required service. This will give us the opportunity to make sure all requests are completed in a timely manner.
