Important Note:
The University strongly encourages students to keep their Windows systems patched with the latest security updates. As part of the computer registration process once you arrive on campus, all students will be required to apply the latest security patch prior to being allowed on the campus network. Instructions for completing this task will be attached to your room key when you arrive and the IS Help Desk will be available to assist you.
