    will already be mapped for you if you click on
    My Computer.

THE X DRIVE (Dorm or Off-Campus)
  • To access your X drive from your dorm, or from
    any place off campus, type the following into
    your address bar
  • ftp//username_at_space.cord.edu

USE A FLASH DRIVE
  • Also called jump drives, memory sticks, pen
    drives, etc

FORWARDING YOUR E-MAIL
cord.edu
  • It is important that you check your Concordia
    College e-mail!
  • The College uses your e-mail to send you
    important information, and inform you of
    events.
  • Your professors will use this e-mail address to
    send you important notes about class,
    assignments, or deadlines.
  • Some professors will ask if u have a preferred
    email account.

If you choose to not use your Concordia e-mail,
have it forwarded to an e-mail address you check
more frequently.
Directions are available http//filter.cord.edu80

BEWARE OF THE E-MAIL HOAX
  • Increasingly, e-mails that look like they are
    coming from Concordia e-mail addresses are
    entering e-mail boxes.
  • These are NOT from Concordia employees or PC
    Support administrators. They are coming from
    computers infected with viruses.
  • Check the signature at the bottom of all e-mails,
    they must contain a name, title and phone number
    of the person sending you an e-mail.
