Student Network/Wireless Access
Network registration is required for all computers connecting to the College network in residence halls, college houses, wireless access areas, and public areas with network access. This is done to ensure network security and to prevent the spread of viruses, Trojan horses, and spy ware on the College network.
Once physically connected to the network, students (and those using wireless access) must open a Web browser. They will be directed to a network registration page where they must log into the College network using their username and password. Then, by responding affirmatively to a series of prompts, their computer will be scanned for Windows updates and the latest virus updates.
Computers that are not up to date will be allowed to access only specific sites for updates. They will remain with only limited access until their computers are updated. Computers that have updated Windows and anti-virus software will gain access to the College network. Additionally, computers will have to be reauthenticated by the network registration software on a regular basis.
More specific information on the process will be available shortly.
