Graduate students on scholarship are eligible for a work station in the department, assigned by the graduate studies coordinator.
Students remain eligible as long as they are on scholarship. Once the scholarship is terminated, students should contact the graduate studies coordinator to vacate their working station.
Keys should be received from Yaniv Abutbul in Maintenance, room 203, and returned to him as well.
Graduate students on scholarship are further eligible for laptop computers, to be returned upon completion of the degree. You will be asked to choose a laptop computer in an e-mail before the semester begins.
Graduate students receive three separate computer accounts:
1. A Technion account on the tx computer (aka: techunix), which provides an e-mail address based on the ‘username@techion.ac.il’ format
2. A departmental UNIX account on the CSM server, which gives you an e-mail address based on the username@cs.technion.ac.il’ format
3. A departmental computer account for Windows on domain TD-CSF.
You must open all three accounts and check your e-mail on both Technion and departmental UNIX accounts (you can use an automatic forward to transfer messages from one to the other or to other external e-mail addresses).
Upon admission, you will receive instructions for opening the Technion account, at which point you can also choose a username. The account is opened through the computer accounts page on the Division of Computing and Information Systems website.
The other two accounts will use the same username and will be opened before you begin your studies. If you are receiving a scholarship, you will receive passwords for these accounts when you receive your laptop. If you are not receiving a scholarship, please address the Graduate Studies Coordinator to receive your passwords.
If you encounter any computer-related problems, please register them on the departmental digital helpdesk through the IT Group Site. For requests or help troubleshooting problems with your Technion account, please contact the Technion helpdesk.
