Staff & Faculty Accounts
Passwords
Your password is the security that keeps others from using your account. Your initial password must be changed immediately upon activation of your account. Users who have forgotten a password should contact the Help Desk for assistance (706) 737–1482. Passwords WILL NOT be given out over the phone.
You should set your password to something easily remembered by you (and only you) so that you will not be tempted to write it on a piece of paper. Suggestions on password selection and maintenance are available here 
.
Compromises in password security normally result from careless password selection or handling. For this reason, you should select a password which does not appear in a dictionary or might be easily guessed by others. The password should also not be a proper name, your license number, birth date, or street address. Any of these may be used as guesses to violate system security.
Banner
Banner is the Student Information System for Augusta State University. Employees must complete Banner Fundamentals training before a Banner account can be created. Banner Fundamental Training is Computer Based Training (CBT) that you can complete at your leisure. To gain access to the training material, please submit a Remedy Ticket requesting a Banner Account or contact the Help Desk at extension 1482.
In addition to Banner Fundamentals training, all who access Banner must review the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Guidelines and submit a confirmation form. This information will be sent to you along with your CBT information.

Mailing Lists
Getting Started Guide for Majordomo List Owners
What is Majordomo?
List Owner Responsibilities
- requests to approve subscriptions (or unsubscriptions),
- requests to approve messages to the list (for a moderated list),
- notifications of successful subscriptions or unsubscriptions, and
- bounces (messages sent to the list that were not delivered)
List Types
| OPEN | A subscriber to an open list will be approved automatically unless they specify an address different from the one in their email header. |
| CLOSED | All subscriptions to a closed list will be sent to the list owner for approval. |
| MODERATED | All messages are sent to the list owner for approval before they are sent to subscribers. |
| UNMODERATED | Any subscriber can post a message directly to the list. |
| PUBLIC | Subscribers have access to information about other subscribers through the "who" and "which" commands. |
| PRIVATE | Only subscribers can use the archive commands "index" and "get" to access information about other subscribers. |
| AUTO | For a list with the absolute minimum of maintenance (but also a minimum of security), you could create an "auto" list. All subscription or unsubscription requests will be honored without any input from the list owner. For example, anyone could unsubscribe anyone else. |
How To Create A New List
- Decide who will be the owner.
- Decide on a list name. This name should be representative of the purpose of the list. It can be comprised of letters, digits, underbars (_), or dashes (–) only. To avoid confusing users, it is a good idea to not use both underbars and dashes for your system's listnames. Choose one or the other, then use it consistently.
- The owner should write a description of the list to be mailed out for "info" requests and for new subscriptions. A good description in the "info" file will save you time by avoiding questions later.
- Set the subscription policy (according to the list types above).
- Your are now ready to submit your request: Request for a list
