How to Set Up a Campus Account
1. Locate the letter from Admissions and Records which contains
your CSUN ID (e.g., ABC12345) and initial password.

www.csun.edu/portal
3. Enter your CSUN ID and initial password and click Log In.
4. Read and accept the account policy.

-
Only standard US keyboard characters are allowed,
including A – Z, numbers, and the special symbols
located at the top of the keyboard.
Passwords need to be a minimum of 6 characters,
maximum of 8.
Passwords must contain at least one number and at least
one special character, such as # or &.

How to Set Up a Laptop for Wireless Networking
1. Make sure your wireless card, either installed (PCI) or external
(PCMCIA), is 802.11b (or higher) compliant. You can find this
information in the manufacturer’s information or by checking the
card itself.
2. Find your MAC address to register with your campus account.
Your MAC address should be 12 numbers, listed in six groups of two.
Make sure that when you look for your MAC address, you use the
one associated with your wireless card and not your ethernet card. It
should be listed as AirPort for Macs and Wireless LAN or Wireless
for PCs.
On a Macintosh:
-
-
For OS-X or a variant of OS-X: Select the Apple menu
and click the “System Preferences” option. Click
“Network”. Your MAC address will be labeled “Ethernet
Address” under the “TCP/IP” tab.
For Operating Systems up to 9.2.1: Select the Apple
menu and click the “Control Panels” option. Click the
“TCP/IP” control panel. Select the “File” menu and the
“Get Info” command. Your MAC address is listed as
“Hardware Address”.
On a Windows PC:
-
Windows XP or 2000: Click on the Start Menu and
select “Run”. Type in “cmd” (no quotes) and press enter.
Type in “ipconfig /all” (no quotes) and press enter. Your
MAC address is listed as “Physical Address” under your

screen.

up previously. You may enter it in either of these two formats:
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX

specified wireless zones on campus. A map of these zones can be

How to Access Your U-Drive
The U-Drive is available to all persons with a CSUN ID and
password. It provides storage for all files and messages sent to CSUN
user accounts, and can also provide extra storage space and web
hosting abilities for the account holder.
To activate your U-Drive the first time, you must change your
password. Go to www.csun.edu/account and change your current
password. Your U-Drive will then be recognized. You only need to
do this once.
The following is a step-by-step guide to accessing your U-Drive. You
must have administrative access to the machine you are working on
in order to access your U-Drive. Additionally, you need to physically
be on the CSUN campus and on the network, or connected to the
campus network via a VPN client.
On a Windows XP or 2000 Machine:
1. Right-click on your My Computer icon (either inside your Start
Menu or on your desktop) and select Map Network Drive. Under
Drive, select U: and under Folder, type in \\udrive\ (no spaces)
followed by your CSUN ID. Example:
\\udrive\abc12345
2. Click Finish. On the next screen, type in your CSUN ID and
password. Click OK. Your U-Drive is now accessible by opening My
Computer, where it will be listed under Network Drives.
On a Mac OS-X or OS-X Variant Machine:
1. On your desktop, click the “Go” menu at the top of the screen.
Select Connect to Server.

box blank. Type in your CSUN ID under Username and password
in the Password box. Click OK.
