NOTE: for current Tux users, you would probably enter...
ssh tuxUserId@drexel.edu@tux.cs.drexel.edu
Example:
ssh mjg88@drexel.edu@tux.cs.drexel.edu

Screenshot below shows an example for an older Tux user login entry.
So you probably would not enter anymore ssh tuxUserId@drexel.edu@tux.cs.drexel.edu
nor something like mjg88@tux.cs.drexel.edu

But if you run into issues, do try the old method.
