Creating an Estrella Mountain Community College Red Hat Academy Login

Once you have registered for a Red Hat Linux class at Estrella Mountain, you will need to create an Academy login name and password

---

STEP 1

You will need to go to Red Hat's Web site and create a "Red Hat Network" (RHN) account. Take some time to choose a username that will be easy for you to remember. We suggest using your first initial of your first name, and last name followed by emrha (Estrella Mountain Red Hat Academy). Example:

Give Name: Randy Larson

Username to create: rlarson-emrha

Password: Create a password that it is easy to remember (Don't loose your password.)

(NOTE:  By inserting the -emrha following your name (In my example rlarson), it will increase your chances of selecting a username that has not already been reserved by another student.)

(TIP: If you receive an error that the username is already taken, try adding your middle initial after your first initial.
Example: rllarson-emrha. By selecting a username that contains your last name, it will be easier to remember, and make Academy administration easier.)

Now go the RHN creation site.
(NOTE: A "new window" will open by clicking on the link below; when you are finished creating your RHN login name, you may exit that page and return here.) Go to RHN login creation now.

STEP 2

Our Red Hat Academy Administrator must create a local Academy account for you. Please note: Your login will not be created until you are registered for a course at Estrella Mountain Community College. Examples of these courses are: CIS126DL, CIS238DL, CIS239DL, CIS240DL, and CIS271DL. You may create a RHN account in advance; however, you will not be granted an Academy login until you are registered in one of the above classes.

Next provide the Estrella Mountain Community College Red Hat Academy with the following information. You will be notified by e-mail when your account is created. Please allow 1-2 days for processing.

NOTE: Your Academy Account will not be created unless you are fully registered for the class. All students are verified in SIS (Student Information Services) before RHA accounts are created.
