Students must create accounts for parents to make online payments on their behalf. Students should use the “Student Online” tab on myRedDragon (myreddragon.cortland.edu) and select “set up 3^rd party payment authorization.” Enter your parent’s (or other 3^rd party) email address and click “add.”

The 3^rd party will need to know your Cortland ID number in order to make a payment. Their email address is the 3^rd party user id. An email will be sent to your named 3^rd parties with a randomly generated password to be used at time of login.  Parents, to login into make a payment after you receive the confirmation please go to https://bannerweb.cortland.edu/parents

3^rd party online payments are available at bannerweb.cortland.edu/parents from 6AM-10PM daily.

For Faculty who have students working on media production projects in their class and their drive space is not large enough to store these projects, Faculty will be able to request an increase in their student’s storage space.

The request should be made to the Technology Help Center (THC), helpdesk@cortland.edu , and contain the CRN-term code of the class (i.e. HLH 250 Fall ’08). Information Resources staff will process the request, which may take several days. Once the storage space has been increased the Faculty member will be notified when it’s completed. Please note that at the end of the semester, the student’s storage space will be reset back to 200 mg.

Dear Campus Community,

You may have received an email recently with the subject line “Webmail Internet Support”.  The email sender requested a reply with your email password and other personal information.  DO NOT RESPOND TO THE EMAIL.

It is not the policy of Information Resources to ever ask for your password, especially through email.  The email sent out today was in fact, an email phishing scam.  If you did respond to the email, you must change your password immediately at https://colfax.cortland.edu/password.

If you need further assistance, please contact:

Click here to download a copy of the instructions listed below with step by step screen shots (pdf file)

1. Insert a burnable DVD into the DVD drive on the Mac. (If you’re working on a Mac in the Mac Lab in Memorial Library, the DVD drive is on the side of the “monitor”. If you’re working in the multimedia rooms in Memorial Library, the DVD drive is in the computer tower on your desk, next to your monitor). You can purchase DVD-R (“R” means recordable) at any office supply store. I recommend the DVD-R instead of +R or RW

2. Once you insert the DVD, a pop up window will appear. From the Action drop down menu, choose “Open Finder” and then click the OK button

3. On your desktop, you will see an icon for an “Untitled DVD” Double click on it.

4. A Finder window will open. At the top of the Finder window are four ‘views’ by which you can see the items are on the DVD (Right now, it should be blank). Click on the first view which is “Show Items as Icons”

5. Click and drag the items that you want to burn to the DVD into this blank Finder window

6. When you have finished dragging and dropping the items that you want to burn to the DVD. Click on the burn button at the top of the Finder window or the burn icon next to “Untitled DVD” in the column on the left side of the Finder window.

7. Another pop up window will appear. Enter a name for your DVD (This should include your name, your class and/or your instructor. In case you lose the DVD, someone can return it to you.)

8. Once you have entered a name for your DVD, click the Burn button. The pop up widow will close and a progress window will open.

9. After the computer finishes burning the DVD, (a virus scan will run during some point in the burn process – just ignore it) click on the Eject button. There is also an Eject button on your keyboard. It looks like an upward pointing triangle with a dash under it and is located above the delete key, to the right of the F12 key.

1.  Click on the arrow in the group of icons at the bottom left of the iTunes application window to bring up the preview window.

2.  Click on the preview window to bring up the larger playback window
