CIS 300: Introduction to Computer Game Design

CSUG Accounts

Game development in this course will take place in two labs: CL3 and the CSUG (Computer Science Undergraduate) Lab. CSUG is not run by CIT, and so you cannot access those machines via your netid. Instead, you will need to get a special CSUG account, which is provided to every student in CIS 300. Your accounts are created automatically and you can find in information about your account here:

If you are in the class and do not yet have an account, please contact contact the instructor as soon as possible to create one.
