What is a Student Network ID or CNR User Account?

In order to gain access to the Library databases you need a CNR network account user ID and password  in the Off-Campus Library database login box that will appear when you click on a link to a Library database from off-campus.  Your user name and password will be verified in the CNR network user account database to determine whether you are an authorized user.

If you are a currently enrolled student or a faculty or staff member of the College and don't already have a CNR network account username and password you may create one by visiting the Virtual Help Desk .  Or you may visit any of the CNR Campus Libraries, or the Academic Computing Center or the Information Systems Department (both in Mooney Center on the New Rochelle Campus).   When you visit the campus to create your network user account, please ask for assistance if you need help creating your ID.  Staff at all of these sites is prepared to assist you.  determine whether you are an authorized user.
