EWS Labs, Home Directory Policy
Overview
This article summarizes the policy for EWS home directories.Home Directory Policy
Engineering Workstation (EWS) users are given a home directory with 25 gigabytes of storage. EWS home directories are only meant to provide enough space for instructors and students to work on their courses for the current semester.
Home directories are emptied 1 week before the beginning of each semester. At the end of each semester, we strongly recommend moving important files to the free cloud storage provided through your campus account, such as OneDrive, Box, or Google Drive (sign into these services with your campus account).
For instructors that require persistent storage for their course, please visit EWS Labs, Course Directory.
