Internet Access, Computers

Ethernet:

Plug this wire thingy into that computer thingy.... Seriously, bring an Ethernet cable. There's one Ethernet connection in the study unit, so be prepared to use it in a pinch. There's wireless, but you'll want to have a backup plan just in case.

Wireless:

If you're bringing a department computer, have your IT person (your Chad, as it were) give you admin access to your computer. Derrick Ard, the Junction campus's computer support guru, will set you up with access on Thursday if you arrive during business hours. Ask for him in the Admin building (the first building on campus). It sounds like they have to go through a setup process similar to the process the Lubbock campus had to go through to give you access in May. Even if you're still set up for Lubbock Internet access, you'll need to go through a separate setup in Junction. Derrick's office number is 806-742-6434 x227. This number is publicly available on the Tech Web site, so I don't feel bad about publishing it here.

I'll call Derrick on Monday to check in with him.

Your Computer on Campus

Bring a case for your computer because you'll want to bring it with you when you leave campus so it'll be secure.
