New Brunswick Computing Services (NBCS), a division of The Office of Information Technology (OIT), has overall responsiblity for computing service on the New Brunswick campus, including public labs for students, and central servers for both students and faculty/staff.
In order to use these facilities, you need a computer account. You can create an account for yourself using the procedures explained in separate web pages for students and faculty/staff.
You can use your computer account to access Unix timesharing systems run for faculty/staff and students, to read email from your PC, and to maintain web pages. An account is also required to use the Rutgers dialup lines and PCs in the Campus Computing Centers. (Special types of accounts are also available for certain guests and for departmental activities.)
NBCS also provides support of various kinds for computing that you do using your department's facilities, as well as facilities provided by other divisions of OIT. Our Microcomputer Support Group provides advice for both planning and trouble-shooting and also provides training for departmental staff. The NBCS help desk can provide first-level assistance and referral for services provided by the Telecommunications Division and Administrative Computing Services. The Network Services group within NBCS has University-wide responsibility for a variety of support services needed for distributed applications.
