Faculty - Staff Only
Security Tips
Tip #1.
After you are done working with the server make sure you Logout. To logout simply click on the "Log Out" link. It's simple, easy to do, and keeps people from using your computer to do something they are not supposed to be doing like changing or deleting your information. Take note that closing your web browser does not log you out of the system.
Tip #2
Change your password and change it often. You do not need to change your password once a day, once a week, or even once a month. Once a semester is fine. Refer to the "How To Change Your Password" video to learn how to do so.
Tip #3
Store your login and password in a safe place. A post it on your computer is usually not a good idea.
Tip #4
Make sure your password is not too short and not too easy to guess. A common mistake that people do is setting their password to something that is either too common or too familiar. Examples are:
name of a significant other
name of a son or daughter
name of a pet
the word "education"

Accessing and Editing Your Faculty Page
1. Go to the site and Login.

Replace "yourlastname" with your real last name.
For the purposes of this video let's say my name is Jane Doe. Since I'm Jane Doe I would type in:
http://ci.unlv.edu/faculty/doe
Take a second to bookmark the site if you wish.
The site that you are looking at is your faculty website visible to everyone on the world wide web.

4. Clicking on "View" displays the webpage as in a format identical to what a normal site visitor would see.
5. Clicking on "Edit" will bring up a page that you can use to edit your page. Since what I want to do is edit the Jane Doe page, I'm going to click on "Edit".
6. This page is the edit page. On the edit page, you will see the following fields:
