QUESTION:    What should I do if I have forgotten my GroupWise password?
ANSWER:    There are two options for Law students who have forgotten their GroupWise passwords.  If you are on the Water Tower Campus, see the computer lab advisor on duty.  The computer lab advisor’s desk is located in the Law School Computer Center on the 4th floor of the Law Library right outside of Room 403.  If there is no lab advisor on duty and Room 403, the Law School Computing Services Office, is open, anyone on our staff can assist you in resetting your password.  You will need to present your Loyola ID in order to complete this request.
If you are not on the Water Tower Campus, you can call the University Help Desk at x-44444 from any Loyola University Chicago phone line or 773.508.7190 from an off-campus line.  The University Help Desk should be able to assist you with resetting your password over the phone. Back to top

QUESTION:    I would like to log in to one of the on-campus computers, and I am typing the correct user ID and password.  Why is the computer not letting me log in?
ANSWER:    You are most likely logging in under an incorrect context.  Law students log in under the context STUDENT.LAW.LOYOLA.  In order to check or adjust the context, first click Advanced in the bottom right corner of the login screen.  Then, select the correct context from the Context dropdown list.  If STUDENT.LAW.LOYOLA is not one of the choices in the dropdown menu, click the Context button to the right of the dropdown list.  On the screen that appears double-click on LAW and select STUDENT.  Then click OK.  Hopefully you will be able to successfully log in.  If you are still unable to log in, there may be an issue specific to your login.  It would be best to contact the computer lab advisor on duty, our office, or the University HelpDesk.

QUESTION:    What are the hours for the computer labs?
