Make sure your computer is protected
In order to provide a safe and reliable network for you, the university will now require all students who access the network to install a network Admission Control Agent if they do not already have virus protection software. The Admission Control Agent prevents computers from being at risk for worm and virus infections.
You will be asked to install the agent or upgrade it (if you already have it installed) when logging on to the network. Students who do not have virus protection or have not performed critical Microsoft updates, will not be able to access the network.
