Information Technology Services (ITS) operates the English Department network, which provides Internet connectivity to the entire department. We also manage the student, faculty, and staff computer accounts that enable access to the Internet and departmental computing resources.

Logging In to the Network

Your key to getting access to the English network is your Novell Account. Your Novell Account entitles you to full access to network resources, such as private and shared drives, network printing and critical data backup.

Connecting Your Computer to the Internet

Every office computer is setup for Network and Internet connectivity. If you desire to have a laptop setup for connectivity, please contact the Tech Support Office.

How to Access Your Email

Every user should have an RCI or Eden email account. There are a variety of tools you can use to access your email. You can use Webmail to access your email. Webmail is most useful if you want to quickly check your email from any Internet connection – anywhere in the world.

If you want advanced email features and performance, we can install any number of worthy email clients on your office or home computer, such as MS Outlook, Mozilla Firefox and Netscape Messenger. Please access the link below for detailed instructions on setting up an email client (i.e., Outlook, Netscape Messenger, Firefox):
