must be registered before internet access is granted. Students will be asked to turn in their computers for registration when they arrive on campus. If a
notebook does not meet the minimum requirements, it will not be registered and no network
or internet access will be granted.
Service and repairs are not available to owners of personal, non-Package
notebooks. Accordingly, with the limited exception of connectivity issues, viruses and spyware cleanup,
any problems with personal, non-Package notebooks are the responsibility
of the student. ITS will not violate warranty conditions that are set
by the manufacturer to troubleshoot or repair these notebooks. There are computer repair shops nearby that can assist students that brought their own computers.
