computing services: it is the key to your NJIT Campus
Directory entry; it is a login account for many systems;
and will authenticate you for the new campus portal
 Get the UCID from Computing Services Outside in the
Hall
 You will need it to access WebCT and your AFS account

AFS
 Primary academic computing is provided via
Highlander AFS, running UNIX. Services include
programming, computation, Internet access,
graphics, visualization, and many other
applications. Each AFS user is given a disk
allocation of 125 MB. Personal webpages can
be stored under the Highlander AFS system. File
management systems such as MySQL and PHP
are also available
