Using Registrar Classroom Computers
Important Notice: If your classroom computer has been upgraded to Windows 11, you must log in using your full Syracuse University email address (e.g., NetID@syr.edu) and password. Logging in with just your NetID (without @syr.edu) will not work on Windows 11 devices.
