As of Spring 2005, students are now required to log-in to all computers in the 4200 building at the main campus. This includes the computers in the open lab as well as classrooms that are equipped with computers.

Students enrolled in a CTIS class can obtain a personal account. With such an account a user will have full use of the facility including printing privileges. These accounts will allow users to take their user profiles with them. If you are not a member of CTIS (student or faculty) you can still use the lab and the demo units in each classroom by signing on as a GUEST (see below for instructions). Guests will not have printing privileges.

The way we distribute the accounts to our students is via our Lab assistants located at the front desk of room 4201 (new open lab). When getting an account from the front desk, the student requesting the account will be asked for a photo ID. Students can get their accounts and use the lab from 10 am to 8 pm, Monday through Thursday.

How to log-in

Windows Computers -
To log in using your account, at the welcome window, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE. This will open the login window in which you will type your user name and password.

Macintosh Computers -

Guest Accounts

The labs are open to all Foothill students. If you are not enrolled in a CTIS account then you may use the guest account. Guest users have access to the system and all applications, however they do not have printing privileges. To log on as guest use these settings:

      User Name:  ctisguest
      Password:   Ctis2005         (passwords are case-sensitve)

This information is posted in the labs and there lab assistants to help you.
