Computing Accounts at the College of Engineering
- As an eligible member of the College of Engineering community, an individual may receive access to the wealth of computing services provided by CAEN, often referred to as having a "CAEN Account."
- Questions about obtaining access to CAEN services can be directed to the CAEN Hotline.
CAEN provides the College of Engineering with a comprehensive set of computing technologies that support its instructional, research, administrative and service missions. Acquiring a "CAEN Account" provides members of the College access to these computing resources. Depending on an individual's role in the College of Engineering (i.e. student, faculty, staff, temp...), access to certain CAEN computing services may or may not be available.
All CAEN Accounts, including "Limited" accounts, provide remote access to CAEN's Linux login servers and VNC services. Services that are only available to certain "Full" CAEN Account holders include:
- 24-hour access to CAEN computer labs
- Remote access to CAEN lab Windows computers via Virtual Sites
- A large amount of individual online file storage
- A supplemental printing allocation for use on ITS printers
All individuals who access CAEN computing services are subject to CAEN policies, outlined in the CAEN Conditions of Use. For further information on eligibility and restrictions, visit our account eligibility page, or contact the CAEN Hotline.
ITS Computing Accounts
Eligible members of the College of Engineering may also obtain computing services provided by Information & Technology Services (ITS). ITS offers a set of Standard Computing Services for access to campus-wide computing resources. In addition, access to CAEN computing services requires a UMICH password for authentication, so individuals must obtain their ITS computing account prior to obtaining a CAEN Account.
