NOTE for Tux Users:
- 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).
