What is a Home Directory?

• Your student home directory or H drive is a folder or storage area that is located on the network.
• When you log on to a computer on campus with your username and password, you are automatically connected to your home directory.
• You can also access these files remotely when off-campus.  

Changes and Improvements

• New home directories for students were created for students in August 2011. Home directories were relocated and upgraded,with improved access options.
• Home directory storage space for students was increased to 150 MB. Previously, students were limited to only 15 MB.
• The new off-campus remote file access system, FileWay, is easier to use.
• These changes will allow the college to update other related technology resources for students.
