1 User name & 1 Password!


The Office of Information Technology  is excited to bring streamlined changes to login credentials for employees and students

On Monday, July 22, 2013 we will be implementing changes to the Colleague (Datatel) and WebAdvisor systems that will enable employees to use NetID to access these systems. 

Remember that your NetID is the User ID and password that you currently use to log on to your computer.   This means that you will have ONE User ID and password to access:
  • Your Computer
  • Colleague (Datatel) If you currently have access (This is to be implemented in the Fall semester)
  • Web Adviser
  • Outlook (Web/Mobile Devices)
  •  VPN

Finally, users will be able to stop using cheat sheets hidden in drawers or under keyboards!


Changes for Students
 
In addition to the above changes for employees, Students as well will benefit from several changes as well.  The systems that they use as well will benefit from the NetID.  While MyHCC and Smarthinking have been using the NetID for a while, also starting on Monday, July 22, 2013, students will be able to access WebAdvisor and the new email system Office 365 with their NetID.  


Microsoft's Office 365 is the replacement for the Campus Cruiser email system.

Along with these changes, we are updating the appearance of the Hawk Net page (http://www.hccfl.edu/hawknet.aspx).   All existing links will still remain available from this page, but we are implementing a new mobile-friendly and ADA compliant look.

Please keep in mind that these changes are significant and every effort has been made to implement this as smoothly as possible.  


If you have any issues accessing Datatel or WebAdvisor, please contact HCCLive (http://hcclive.hccfl.edu)  and create a ticket, advising them that you are having difficulties accessing these services using your NetID so that they can escalate these tickets appropriately.
