Login Procedure
All PCs in the School of Engineering computer labs are now on the SEAS-S domain.
Anyone trying to log onto these computers will need to use a SEAS-S password.
Please note that this is a different domain from SEAS.
While the user’s log on name is the same on both domains, the passwords
ay be different. Anyone who has does not know their password for the SEAS-S
domain should email help@engr.smu.edu
or call 8-7327 for help.
To log onto a PC in any School of Engineering lab:
Use Control/Alt/Delete to get the logon screen.
Enter your School of Engineering logon.
Enter SEAS-S password.
Any instructor who needs to load special software in a SEAS computer lab for
a class will need to contact the Helpdesk by e-mailing help@engr.smu.edu
or calling 8-7327 a minimum of two weeks before class.
Lab Rules
No food or drink is allowed in the lab area.
Users should work quietly and preserve an environment that allows others
to work.
The computers in this lab are dedicated to academic use. They should not
be used for entertainment while other users are waiting to work.
Each user should do their part to keep the lab area clean by being sure
their station is clean.
Misuse of account names, including sharing personal account information
with others, is against University policy and may be cause for disciplinary

the account information.
An account on the SEAS-S domain is also necessary and is automatically assigned
