What you need to know about Student Novell Accounts
Personal Novell accounts are provided to each Calvin student as a location to store academic and course-related documents and personal files.

  • When your students receive their Novell account they need to activate their account. They can do this from most computers in your department.
  • If you want them to have access to your department's common drive (G:\) or web drive (W:) you need to Request additional access for current faculty, staff, or students who have accounts.
    Note: Although most faculty/staff see the common drive as g:\ , students will see the drive as h:\ or another letter.
  • If students have access to your department's common drive and/or web drive it is very important that you request this acess be removed when the student leaves your department. Remove Access for a Student Employee
  • Students have disk space limits on their home drive. Work-related material should be stored in your department's common drive.
  • If your student(s) have access to your department's common drive they only have access from Calvin-owned computers on-campus. They do not have access via the internet (NetStorage).
  • Before the student(s) leave your department they should log off the computer by selecting Start > Shut Down > Log Off or Start > Log Off depending on how Windows is setup on that computer.
