Computer Requirements

Wireless
ATTENTION: Wireless networking is available in limited areas. The University will be supporting the two prominent networking standards (802.11b, and 802.11g). IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT bring wireless access points, gateways, or routers for use in dorm rooms or other locations. The University is striving to provide wireless services as quickly as possible to as many areas as possible, but security will not be sacrificed to do this. Any wireless access points not deployed and managed by the University are forbidden and will be removed from the campus network. Repeated violations may result in disciplinary action. Further information will be provided as we finalize plans for the wireless network.

Software
The campus, including faculty and staff, is standardized on Microsoft Office 2007. You must use Microsoft Office if you are preparing work for class. Academic Editions are available at local retailers.
