Connecting to Tux
Tux Account Information
All SCIS Faculty and Staff, as well as all students enrolled in SCIS classes, are eligible for access to Tux.
Student access is typically available on the first day of the term in which they are enrolled for a course, and faculty and staff access is granted shortly after new members' account information is provided to SCIS IT.
To log in to Tux, use your Drexel userid, such as "abc123" as your username. An example for SSH login for that user would be "ssh abc123@tux.cs.drexel.edu". Use your Drexel password.
To log in on Gitlab, please use the "DrexelConnect" login method.
When on campus, please connect to Dragonfly3 rather than DrexelGuest, as the guest network sometimes causes issues with Tux access.
