An ECEn account is a CAEDM account with additional priveleges specific to people in the ECEn classes or involved in ECEn teaching or research activities. Generally the username and password to access ECEn services are the same as the CAEDM pasword. If you're not sure whether the problem you're having is specific to the ECEn priveleges associated with your account or whether it's a more general CAEDM account problem, usually either the CAEDM Administrators or the ECEn SysOps can help you decide where to go for help.

Any student who is either a declared major in the college, taking a department class, or working for the department.

If the class requires an account, you will be able to set up an account using the CAEDM Account Adder. If you added a class from the department after the first day of class, you may experience problems setting up your account. If you experience any difficulties, send an email to the CAEDM Sysops. Include your Route Y username, the name of the class you are currently taking, and a brief description of the problem (i.e. - "I added a class from the department late and am unable to create a CAEDM account.").

The professor must inform the sysops that you require an ECEn account. After that, you will need to provide the ECEn SysOps with your Route Y username and BYU ID. The SysOps will then take care of creating an account for you.

Accounts will be disabled if: Accounts are typically disabled the day before classes begin on any given semester or term, however, they may be disabled as early as the last day of finals of the previous semester or term. Please plan accordingly.

CAEDM provides personal web space to each student with a CAEDM account. The ECEn Department does not offer personal web space to students over and above the CAEDM space. You can find more information about CAEDM's personal and group web space in the CAEDM User's Guide.

Usually, Windows machines are already set up so that you can access your CAEDM space through the J:\ drive. If not, do the following to manually map a network drive to your home space:If this doesn't work, your account may be disabled. Do not fret. It is probably due to the fact that you haven't changed your password in the last year. For what to do, see "How do I reenable my account?"

Account enabling is a two step process. Validating and enabling. If you do not have a CAEDM account, contact the CAEDM sysops. If you have changed your password in CAEDM and your account is not enabled, it is most likely because your account was not validated correctly (see above). If you continue to have difficulty, contact the ECEn SysOps.

Note: accounts are typically disabled the day before classes begin on any given semester or term, however, they may be disabled as early as the last day of finals of the previous semester or term. Please plan accordingly.
The following actions should reenable your account: If you still have problems, try logging into a CAEDM windows machine. Come visit or email the ECEn SysOps after you have tried this.
