Campus Computer Login Procedures

These are the steps to follow every time you use a computer. Each student has his or her own network account. You must use this account to use the computers.

Look up your NPC Login ID

Username: FirstInitialLastname
Password: Your password is also known as your PIN (Personal Identification Number). It is an eight-digit number made up of the last four digits of your social security number, plus your birth month and birth day. If either your birth month or birth day is a single digit, use a zero in front of it.

Examples
Name	DOB	SS#	Username	Password
John Public	11/06/1967	123-45-6789	jpublic	67891106
Pat Public	01/06/1970	987-65-4321	ppublic	43210106

(Important: there are no dashes, slashes or spaces in username or password!)

In the case of duplicates then it would be as in this case Jpublic1, Jpublic2, or Jpublic3, etc.
If you log in and it is one of those numbers and you didn’t place it in your username it will tell you you’ve logged in incorrectly.

Examples
Name	DOB	SS#	Username	Password
John Public	11/06/1967	123-45-6789	jpublic	67891106
Jane Public	01/06/1970	987-65-4321	jpublic1	43210106
