What do I do if I think someone is using my account?

Change your password immediately! See this page for more information:

  • http://www.engin.umich.edu/caen/changepw/

You should also Contact CAEN, describing why you think someone is using your account. Give as much detail as possible to aid CAEN's security team in tracking down the culprit.



Where can I find more information on all CAEN policies?

See our main policy information pages at:

  • http://www.engin.umich.edu/caen/intro/policies/


Does CAEN sell software to students at a discount?

No, CAEN is not a software retailer, and due to licensing agreements with software vendors we cannot sell (or give away) computer hardware or software of any kind. The retail software resource for U-M students is the U-M Computer Showcase:

  • http://showcase.itcs.umich.edu/

Faculty and staff may also purchase software from ITCS Licensing:
