Class aliases are generated nightly based on data from the Datatel system. '''Because the lists are generated based on registration information, change requests must be directed through the Registrar's Office.'''

This space can be used to save papers, syllabi, pictures, [[e-mail]], and other documents. Home directories are also used to store user's [[personal homepages]].

As of the 2008-2009 school year, students have '''1''' [[Gigabyte|GB]] worth of storage space for files. Students have '''250''' [[megabytes|MB]] worth of storage space for their [[e-mail]]. If more space is needed, students can request additional storage space.
