	You can activate your AD account online at https://cams.qc.cuny.edu and if necessary, please refer to this tutorial.
	What is CAMS?
	CAMS stands for College Account Management Systems at Queens College.
	What does CAMS do?
	Currently CAMS allows you to manage two types of Queens College accounts: your Active Directory account and your Lotus Notes email account. You can activate your accounts, change your passwords by logging into CAMS.
	What is a “CAMS account”?
	“CAMS account” has been used synonymously with “Active Directory account” and that is an inaccurate reference since CAMS is a system which manages two (AD and Lotus Notes) rather than one single type of accounts.
