Concurrent Enrollment Computer Accounts

Revised: August 2009.
If you are a UCSD Extension student taking a regular UCSD class through Concurrent Enrollment, and the instructor for that class has requested ACMS computing resources:

UCSD Extension will issue you a token (an alphabetic string of characters) that you can use at the Concurrent Enrollment self-registration page to create a persistent ACMS user account (called an "ax" account), which will give you access to on-campus computer labs, and you can then link the account to the resources required for your class (the ACMS terminology for this second step is "getting an allocation for a specific courseid").

If you already have an active AX account go here to add allocations for courses you are taking through concurrent enrollment.

To obtain a token, contact the Extension Registrar (unex-reg@ucsd.edu, (858)534-3400) - they can issue you a token in person at their offices as part of your Concurrent Enrollment process. Under some circumstances Extension may refer you to ACMS (see the next paragraph). Your token will be tied to your Extension Student ID number (the letter U followed by 8 digits, eg. U12345678) - if you don't already have an Extension Student ID, you will need to obtain one from Extension as part of your enrollment process.

NOTE: Since the issuing of persistent "ax" accounts and self-add of allocations is a relatively new process, if you already have your Extension Student ID, on an interim basis until Extension is able to directly accomodate all account/token requests, it is possible to obtain your token in person from the ACMS help desk (AP&M 1313, Muir College, UCSD - acs-consult@ucsd.edu). You will need to know your Extension ID number (Uxxxxxxxx), the email address you use to correspond with UCSD Extension, and the ACMS-supported course you have enrolled in. All information is subject to verification with UCSD Extension before processing.

A small number of UCSD classes don't allow waitlisted students access to computing resources until the student is fully enrolled in the class - if that's the case for your class, then once the instructor signs you in to the class and you have successfully enrolled with Extension, you can have the Extension registrar contact us to activate your computer access.
