Student Web Pages

Student Web Space General Information

Students who are currently enrolled at the School of Management will have personal webspace available to them. It will be located on a network mapped drive called the "V" drive and corresponding to the class designation and SOM NetID of the individual. For example, a student from the class of 2003 and assigned the NetID of "yyz123", will find his or her webspace located on this network drive in a folders "/class03/yyz123". Each student has access to their personal "V" drive as soon as he or she is authenticated to the SOM network and will have a quota of 5MB of storage for public html documents.

Students should be aware that ANY materials located within their personal web space (or "V" drive) are viewable via the Internet, unless arrangements are made in advance through the help desk.

We recommend that students develop their web pages off-line and in a local directory on their laptops or desktops and then transfer them to the server. To upload new or modified files and images, the student needs to simply copy the necessary files from their local / desktop drive over to their "V" drive space.

To connect to your web space from the windows run line type:

\\rabbit\netid$

To map this location as your V drive, right click on my computer. Select V as the drive letter and type \\rabbit\netid$ and the folder location.

Student Templates

The URL for a student's individual webspace will be http://students.som.yale.edu/class0#/yyz123/index.htm (where "#" stands for either "2" or "3", "yyz123" stands for your NetID, and finally, given that your default web page was "index.htm".) If you are a new student or have never developed pages on our system you may download a set of blank pages that incorporate the look and feel of SOM at http://www.som.yale.edu/itg/webgroup/student_template.zip that you may edit at will. This file should have a total of seven HTML pages in .zip format that you will need to extract to use. We recommend extracting them directly to your "V" drive. These pages (index.htm, bio1.htm, contact1.htm, links1.htm, pics1.htm, social1.htm and work1.htm) are basic, simple HTML template pages to give you a starting point for creating your own pages. They can be replaced by other files, edited to include information expected on each of the individual type pages or left "as is" as a marker for potential web space.
