You may still sign up for RezNet by following the My Residence link and making changes to the information that you provided on the online Residence Placement Questionnaire. All RezNet refund requests must be submitted through the My Residence website. Refund requests will only be accepted until September 30, 2010.

What Type of Computer Do I Need to Connect to RezNet?

Almost any computer can connect to RezNet. We currently support computers with Windows Vista, XP and all current versions of Mac OS X.

Protect Your Computer!

To protect the health of the network, all computers must arrive in residence with up-to-date anti-virus software installed and configured to update automatically on a daily basis. RezNet provides technical support for Trend Micro PC-Cillin 2009. You can purchase a copy of Trend Micro PC-Cillin 2009 at a discounted rate from the Campus Computer Store, located on the lower level of the University Community Center.

It is extremely important that your computer has all operating system service packs and critical updates installed prior to your arrival on campus. Also, ensuring that your firewall is enabled is fundamental to the protection of your computer.
