Creating New Accounts

If UVa Human Resources has already entered your personal information in their database, usually your UVa email account has already been created. You only need to visit http://www.itc.virginia.edu/accounts/ to activate it. If you want your account created and start working right away before your data has been entered into the UVa system, please contact scm@virginia.edu to have your UVa email account created. Either way, you need to send eeadmin@virginia.edu your UVa email id to have your ECE account established. This process normally takes less than two business days.

Connecting to the ECE Network

Always consult with the Computing Services staff BEFORE connecting equipment to the ECE network. To obtain an IP address and connect to the ethernet send email to eeadmin@virginia.edu. Depending on the urgency of your request we will attempt to reply right away but most always within two business days.

The Computer Systems staff helps faculty, staff and students with various computer software and hardware problems, and provides advice on computer-related purchases. The staff's regular schedule is from 8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. Our offices are on the second floor C-wing of Thornton Hall.

David Durocher, Computer Systems Engineer, 982-3086, Thornton Hall C226
Harry Powell, Instructional Lab Manager, 924-6107, Thornton Hall E102

Supported Equipment and Software

The ECE department supports and maintains approximately 420 devices which include various models of Unix workstations, PCs, Macs, printers, scanners, monitors, and external disk storage units. These devices have a myriad of device drivers, operating systems, and application software associated with them. In order to provide support to such a variety of hardware and software it is necessary to standardize on a set of "preferred" hardware and software. Faculty, staff, and students will find it to their advantage in terms of computing services available if they choose items on the "preferred" list of supported hardware and software.
