Logging In

If this is your first computer science course, or if you have gone a semester without taking a computer science course, you will need to complete a quick self-registration. The instructions for this are posted in the computer labs themselves, and are also done with supervision during the CSL Unix Orientation sessions.

After you have completed the registration process for new users, you will be able to login using your own login name and password. Note that when you type your password, no characters will be printed on the screen. This is a security precaution to prevent people from finding out your password as you type it in. If you have an existing account from last semester, you may immediately log in with your previous login name and password. If you do not remember your password you should contact the CSL by sending email to lab@cs.wisc.edu to reset your password.
