To connect your computer to the campus network with full workgroup and Internet access, follow these steps:
- Do a Network Connection Needs Assessment
Check the Network Connection Requirements to determine if you now have the appropriate computer system or if additional hardware or software must be purchased. If your computer meets all the requirements, then proceed to step 4.
- Get Approval to Purchase Needed Hardware or Software
To purchase any needed hardware or software, complete an Informational Technology Committee (ITC) Request to Purchase Hardware or Software Approval Form. List each item you need to purchase on a separate line (attach a separate sheet if necessary). Fill out the form completely and send it to the Computer Center. Incomplete forms will be returned.
- Purchase Needed Hardware
When your ITC Request form has been processed, you will receive a memo from the Computer Center with an approval number assigned. You should then submit a requisition for any hardware to be purchased. Any network client software needed will be automatically provided through the Computer Center's site license for Microsoft products; your department will be IDT'd after the work is complete. Forward your requisition for hardware to Purchasing.
- Request a Network Connection
Only after your computer meets the requirements and you have received all the hardware you ordered, if any, complete a Network Connection Request Form. If you are requesting a network connection for more than one computer, you must complete a separate form for each system. Fill out the form completely and send it to the Computer Center. Incomplete forms will be returned.Once your Network Connection Request form has been processed, a technician will come to your office to complete your network connection.
