So You're Thinking About Getting a New Computer
Or you're wondering about bringing your new (or used) computer to campus this fall. Most computers work on our campus, but for a better idea what we do require, please check out the connection requirements. This will also tell you what cords, software, and computers you need.
We also emphasize the use of a virus scanner such as Norton or McAfee and regular windows updates (for PCs).
ResNet Setup Instructions
To obtain instructions on how to connect to the Internet via our new system please download one of the following documents depending on your computer's operating system:
Welcome to the Office of Campus Computing and Information Technology
The Office of Campus Computing & Information Technology (CCIT) oversees all campus technology resources including the website, classroom and lab technology, academic technology, and phone services. CCIT works with faculty, staff, and students to incorporate academic technology, provide network access across campus, and develop new technology offerings -- among other things.
2009-2010 Technology Planning Guidelines
The 2009-2010 Technology Planning Guidelines are now available. All academic and administrative departments are asked to use these guidelines when planning for new technology or upgrading existing technology in their departments.
Student Share Drive Access
We are currently working on getting students access to their X drives and the Shares drive from their personal computers. We expect to have the new system up and running soon. Check back here updates!
Access your X drive and print from off campus or your dorm room
CCIT has made available a VPN service we are calling Pocket that will allow users to access the network from off campus and map printers so you can print from your dorm room. Read the 'Get Connected' instructions first, then try it out when you're off campus or from your dorm room. NOTE: When you are connected to the VPN you will NOT be able to access the Internet, Pocket is meant for file access and printing only. You will still be able to access to the Carroll web site.
