Use of Computer Accounts and Labs

As a UWF student, you will be issued an my.uwf.edu/ArgoNet account when you enroll in courses in the Certificate in Medical Informatics or Master of Public Health programs. With the provided login name and password for this account, you automatically have access to an e-mail account and to disk space to create and maintain Web pages. When completing assignments for this class, you can also access and use your my.uwf.edu/Argonet account from any computer on campus, or from home. For the purposes of this program we will mainly utilize the following labs:

• DLHS Computer Lab - Sacred Heart Hospital
  The Division of Life and Health Sciences lab will be the primary computing area for the course. From machines in this lab, you will be able to access the course Website, work on your class projects, and review on-line resources.
• For those students who travel to the main campus, you will also have access to several additional computing facilities with configurations similar to the DLHS Computer Lab:
  • Biology Department Computer Lab - Bldg. 58, Room 011
    This lab is available Mon-Fri, 8 a.m.-6 p.m.
  • Computer Lab - Bldg. 58A, 2nd floor
    This lab is typically available Mon-Fri, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
  • UWF LAN Computer Lab (also known as SAIL Lab) - Bldg. 79
    This lab has over 100 machines and is available 24 hrs/day, 7 days/week.

You may also be to complete assignments via remote access from your home computer. If you prefer this option, please test your platform early in the semester to resolve any problems.
