Staff Information & Teaching Guide - Swinburne University of ...

Once this period has lapsed, the materials then need to be measured, placed in locked
confidential recycling bins and documented using a PROV Destruction Form 29 (which is
available under the SUT RMS Intranet site) and signed off by the Dean of Faculty and
then forwarded to Shane Arnold, University Records Manager.
Under no circumstances can assignments be just thrown in a recycling bin.
If you have any further enquiries, please contact Shane Arnold on 9214 5413 for
instructions.

Computer and Email Access
The Faculty has offices assigned for use by sessional staff (refer to ‘Sessional Rooms’
section of this manual). These rooms are equipped with a phone, computers and printer
access.
When your employment details have been entered into the HR system, you will
automatically be assigned a SIMS (Swinburne Identify Management System) username
and password. New staff members should contact the ITS Service Desk on 9214 5000 or
at servicedesk@swin.edu.au to confirm their SIMS username.
Once you have this username and password, you can log onto the SUT network and
access your email as well as the H: drive, which is your home directory.
To access your email and your home directory from off campus go to the SUT Home
Page: www.swin.edu.au. Go to the section for staff and click on the GroupWise section
and enter your username and password for your email. To access your home directory,
scroll to the bottom of the staff page and select NetStorage. Here you will need to enter
your username and password as well. The format is a little different to if you had logged
on, on campus.
To change your password, go to the My Swinburne section of the website and log in with
your username and password. On the left hand side of the screen, there is an option to
change your password and to set a challenge question, which is an extra level of security.
When you change the password, it will be synchronised with all of your accounts, Novell
login, GroupWise and Blackboard.
Your computer account and email account are only valid for the semester that you
are teaching.
You may phone FLSS Technical Support for advice. The IT Manager Chris Hoare is on
9214 8186 and Senior ITS Support Officer, Jemison Escalona, is on 9214 8832.
