Both staff and students can use the procedure below to access Adobe software.

Concordia has secured a limited amount of Adobe CC licenses for students that will be active until Summer 2021 as long as you remain an active student enrolled in the class listed below. The license does not grant access to most web only applications and cloud services, such as the cloud version of Lightroom.

Changing your MyConcordia.ca password

Written by marcello on September 15, 2020. Posted in Staff, Students, Teachers.

If you decide to change your password that is associated with your netname, please be aware of the following.

It takes about an hour for systems at Concordia to sync with each other. So change it and wait about an hour before attempting to login.
If you don’t change it at the same time on all your devices, then your account may get locked. This happens because after about five attempts to login with the wrong password, the system will lock your account for about 15 minutes. So if you forgot that your old phone that you gave your son or daughter as an example, still has your Concordia email setup, that old phone will be trying to login with the wrong password and will lock up your account. At that point the only solution is to find the device and change or delete that account.

How to reserve a lab or edit suite computer for remote sessions

Written by marcello on August 12, 2020. Posted in Remote Lab Computers, Students, Teachers. Leave a Comment

By reserving a computer, you will be able to connect remotely to it using NoMachine (Windows, Mac or Linux client) or Screen Sharing. For now there are only some edit suites and labs that offer NoMachine: EV 5.635, EV 5.815 and all the EV 5th floor edit suites. We strongly recommend using NoMachine remote desktop software over Apple’s Screen Sharing. When using NoMachine you will have audio and better image quality.
