IMPORTANT NOTE: Please remember that the NHCloud server is provided for those students taking a specific course in the Newhouse School which has requested access to this system. Under no circumstances is anyone allowed to disseminate the username or password for your account beyond those students enrolled in the class. In addition to this, the server is not a “storage location” for personal data. All that should ever be stored on this account is information pertaining to the course for which the account was established. All course folders are disabled and removed from the servers at the end of each semester. Students are encouraged to backup their data before the end of the semester to prevent any data loss.
