Your computer must be registered with Residential Computing Services (RCS) before you are allowed to access the University network.

The registration process consists of installing University supplied Symantec anti-virus software, as well as, any Microsoft critical updates needed. Please be aware that any existing anti-virus software will be un-installed.

Wireless communications will be disabled until September 17th to ensure all computers are registered.

You may register your computer for the Fall 2007 semester on the following dates and times:
