How do I get connected?

On Campus:

Computer labs: over fifty locations offering Macintosh, Windows, and Unix systems, plus software, printers, scanners, and more.
Plug into any laptop port or use wireless service.

In Residence Halls:

Each resident has a high-speed Ethernet connection.
Apply online and get help at ResCom—your connection will be activated in one to two days.

Off Campus:

Over 2,000 dialup modems are provided.
Some apartments located off-campus provide high-speed Internet access, or you can purchase service from an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
