Academic Windows is the primary Microsoft Windows environment for students. If you use PCs in any of the public computing sites, you need to obtain an Academic Windows account to authenticate as an NJIT student. Your UCID will be the Academic Windows username. However, Academic Windows passwords are maintained separately from the UCID password. The Academic Windows environment provides access to a large library of Windows based software in the public computing sites.

Windows PCs in most of the public computing sites on campus are AFS clients.  You may have direct access to your Highlander AFS files by entering your Highlander AFS password when using the AFS client.  This will give you direct drag and drop support for your AFS directory without using an FTP client. more info
