Some student services provided by the Cockrell School of Engineering are changing. Refer back to this page for progress updates and details specific to your department and classification. Different changes will apply immediately to undergraduate and graduate students.
Updates
8/23/2008 10:00 a.m.
- Web pages on http://studentweb.engr.utexas.edu/ are now available..
8/22/2008 1:45 p.m.
- Web pages on http://studentweb.engr.utexas.edu/ are unavailable during this migration. They should be available again by Monday.
8/22/2008 8:45 a.m.
- Graduate student directories left on home.engr.utexas.edu (CAEE, CHE, and ECE) now have read/write permissions returned to them. To take advantage of our web publishing service, you will now need to use the public_html folder in your disk.austin.utexas.edu space.
8/21/2008 1:00 p.m.
- Graduate student directories for BME, ME, and PGE (as well as those for non-Engineering students) were moved from home.engr.utexas.edu to disk.austin.utexas.edu\engrstu$\[dept]. These directories can be accessed with your UT-EID and password. You have read/write access to these files. Your access to home.engr.utexas.edu remains "read only".
- All undergraduate student directories were moved from home.engr.utexas.edu to disk.austin.utexas.edu\engrstu$\[dept]. These directories can be accessed with your UT-EID and password. You have read/write access to these files. Your access to home.engr.utexas.edu remains "read only".
- All grandfathered undergraduate student mailboxes on the ENGR Exchange Server have been enabled for UT-EID and password access. Remember to use AUSTIN\[yourEID] as your username when you are logging in from a machine that is not already on the AUSTIN ("campus") domain.
8/19/2008 8:00 a.m.
- All personal directories on home.engr.utexas.edu were set to "read only" access.
Undergraduate Students
What is happening?
We are moving your disk storage space from a server in the ENGR domain to one in the campus domain to take advantage of economies of scale to offer you more disk space. By combining with the campus domain, you will now only have to remember your UT-EID login and password to access resources provided by the Cockrell School of Engineering (specific departmental resources may still require unique logins and passwords).
When is this happening?
We will be making this move over the semester break. It will begin August 19th, 2008 and may last until the first class day (August 27th). We will be moving students' folders by department, so yours will only be unavailable for updates during some portion of this week.
How does this impact me?
- The majority of student lab machines that were in the ENGR domain will be moved to the campus domain. You will log on to those machines with your UT-EID and password. This will include the machines in the Studio Classroom, the Mechanical Engineering METER lab, and the Biomedical Engineering student labs.
- We will move all of your files from their current location on home.engr.utexas.edu to disk.austin.utexas.edu for you. While we move these files, your file space on "home" will be read-only, so you will not be able to save anything there, but you will still be able to access it. Files that are stored on departmental resources will not be moved as a part of this effort. Once your files have been moved, you will be able to access them by going to \\disk.austin.utexas.edu\engrstu$\[yourDept] (where [yourDept] will be replaced by ASE, BME, CAEE, CHE, ECE, ME, or PGE. If you are undeclared, your department is CSE. If you are not an Engineering major, but taking an Engineering class, your department is NON.)
- If you have been taking advantage of the student web publishing option on the Engineering student web server, your web files will move with the rest of your files, but your URL will remain the same (http://studentweb.engr.utexas.edu/[yourEID]/.
Graduate Students
What is happening?
Some services that have been hosted on servers in the ENGR domain are moving to the campus domain to take advantage of economies of scale. By combining with the campus domain, you will now only have to remember your UT-EID login and password to access many resources provided by the Cockrell School of Engineering (specific departmental resources may still require unique logins and passwords).
When is this happening?
We will be making these changes over the semester break. They will begin as early as August 19th, 2008, and be completed by first class day (Aug. 27th).
How does this impact me?
- The majority of student lab machines that were in the ENGR domain will be moved to the campus domain. You will log on to those machines with your UT-EID and password. This will include the machines in the Studio Classroom, the Mechanical Engineering METER lab, and the Biomedical Engineering student labs.
- Your EID will automatically have 1GB of disk space available at \\disk.austin.utexas.edu\engrstu$\[yourDept] (where [yourDept] will be replaced by ASE, BME, CAEE, CHE, ECE, ME, or PGE). This disk space will contain items in "My Documents" or on your Desktop as well as some application settings when using these lab machines.
- If you are using machines on the ENGR domain in your office or lab, you will continue to use your ENGR account and password. Those machines will be migrated to the campus domain in the coming months, specific timeline to still be determined. For now, you will continue to also have your disk space at home.engr.utexas.edu and can access it using either your ENGR account or your UT-EID and password. When logged on to a machine in the ENGR domain, your home directory will still point to this file space.
- If you have been taking advantage of the student web publishing option on the Engineering student web server, your web files will be moved to your disk.austin.utexas.edu file space, but your URL will remain the same (http://studentweb.engr.utexas.edu/[yourEID]/.
