IT Resource Guide for UAlbany Students
		The University offers a wide variety of IT services to students. Please review the ITS online brochure as it may answer many of your initial questions about computing services at UAlbany.
		Buying a computer: The type of computer to purchase depends on personal preference and intended use for the equipment
		ITS-provided services are accessed via the internet using a PC or Macintosh computer. Many vendors sell computer systems having the appropriate hardware and software; purchasing a vendor service contract is recommended.
		Residential Network (ResNet) Service
		Apogee provides wired and wireless internet service in the residence halls and apartments. Contact Apogee for ResNet information and assistance.
		WiUAlbany (UA_WPA), the University's wireless network
		Access to WiUAlbany requires a wireless device that supports WPA, and authentication with your NetID and UNIX password. Get details for configuring UA_WPA.
		Computers available in Information Commons and Classrooms
		Computers running Windows XP, MS Office, and other software are available on the three campuses. Many students carry a USB flash drive to backup and store files (i.e. assignments, presentations, documents) they create using these computers.
		Information Technology Use by Students
		Community Rights & Responsibilities, the code of conduct for students, contains the Responsible Use of Information Technology policy. If you plan to bring a computer to campus, use 'get details' to review the University's Network Connection Standards.
