Request a COE/ECE Computer Account
Accounts on the COE Unix/Windows system are available to all undergraduate and graduate students in the College of Engineering, as well as students taking College of Engineering classes. You must be registered to apply for an account. Faculty and Staff of the College of Engineering may also request accounts on the system using this form.
Note: you must be on the campus network or connected to the Northeastern VPN to use the Account Request form.
Request an account on the COE system.
ECE Accounts
If you are a grad student or faculty/staff member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, you may want to use the ECE domain name ece.neu.edu in your email address and home web page URL. You may also request extra disk space on the ECE departmental file server.
Obtaining an ECE Account
The ECE and COE systems have merged. If you already have a COE account, you also have an ECE account — the same username and password are valid for both domains.
If you are a student, faculty, or staff and don’t yet have an account on the ECE / COE system, request an account. You must be connected to the VPN to use this form.
Getting disk space on the ECE departmental file server
Send an email to coehelp@northeastern.edu to request space on the ECE departmental file server.
Once it is set up, your extra disk space will be available in the subdirectory ecefiles in your home directory.
Hostnames in the ece.neu.edu domain for research computers
The Computer Staff can assign a fixed IP address and hostname in the ece.neu.edu domain for certain research computers.
