  • NOTE: For TUX access, current Tux users would probably use their Drexel username@drexel.edu , and not just their Drexel username. For example, if your Drexel userid was mjg88, you would use mjg88@drexel.edu , and not just mjg88. But if you run into issues, then try using only the Drexel username (so only mjg88 in this example).

    NOTE:
    For TUX access,
    Current Tux users would probably use their Drexel username@drexel.edu ,
    and not just their Drexel username.
    So in the screenshot below, the "Username" filed would say...
    mjg88@drexel.edu
    and not just...
    mjg88
    But if you run into issues,
    then try using only the Drexel username (so only mjg88 in example below).
