   Start - Run - telnet polaris.sju.edu
   And enter your network/e-mail username and password
   OR
   Launch PuTTY or any other Win32 Telnet Client and access polaris.sju.edu

Transferring administrative rights of your organization's web page

Click Here to download "Saint Joseph’s University: Website Developer Transfer Form"
This form is used to request a transfer of ownership of an existing website on www.sju.edu. If you do not already have a website on www.sju.edu, please use the form “New Website Contract Form” to establish your website. This form is only to be used to request additions or deletions to the list of web developers for your website. Each developer will always use his or her own account to work on the website (there is no need to share passwords), and therefore, any new developer must first be added to the Unix group before they will be able to edit your website.
If you are unsure of who are the current developers registered to your website, please contact the University Webmaster at webmaster@sju.edu or 610-660-3113.
