An undergraduate's Unix ID begins with the last two digits of his graduation year, followed by his initials, and possibly ending in _2, _3 or even [[_4 ]] if several people have the same graduation year and initials. Faculty Unix IDs are the first letter of the first name followed by up to 7 letters of the surname.

High school students taking Williams classes are given IDs beginning with "sh" followed by the student's initials. Everyone with a Unix ID automatically gets a [[Public folder]] which stores up to 127 MB of files on the network.
