‘Manage My Services’

 

 

 

Users are able to use York's centralized ‘Manage My Services’ (formerly MAYA) account management program to create their YorkArts - Psychology lab computer account. You can now set yourself up with a YorkArts account as you would any of the other accounts [e.g. Electronic Mail, Phoenix (Academic System), etc.] managed via ‘Manage My Services’. Before you can obtain one or more of these accounts/services (Class List, software downloads etc.) you must authenticate your York status through ‘Manage My Services’. For full details see: http://www.cns.yorku.ca/computing/accounts/index.html  All Psychology faculty, graduate students and those undergraduate students enrolled in Psychology courses requiring you to have a lab account may do so. Other Psychology students wishing to use the lab, who are not in these categories, may submit an application to lab staff in 159 BSB.
