The Philip Merrill College of Journalism requires all students logging into any computer in the college or into the Journalism Portfolio web site (located here) to use their DirectoryID as the user name and UniversityID as the default password. Computer Services recommends that you change your default journalism logon password to match your campus DirectoryID password.  Click here for instructions. 

Students can still use the generic default username of JourLab to log into a computer however they will not be able to print.  The generic account is left active for students needing to look up their DirectoryID or UniversityID.

The College has also placed limits on the number of pages a student can print for free. Each student is given an initial quota of pages that s/he can print per semester.

• Non-Majors taking a Journalism Skills class:   100 pages
• Journalism Undergrad Students:   300 pages
• Journalism Graduate Students:   500 pages

In addition to the initial quota, 10 pages may be added to users balance every Sunday evening.  During a regular semester this could add an addition 160 pages to a students quota.

Each users is also given 250MB of file storage. When a user logs on to a computer the driver letter H:\ will be mapped to his or her space.
