The Student Information link above contains information about what type of computer you should bring to campus, ethernet versus modem connections, supported operating systems, computing services offered to AU students and how to get help with computer hardware problems.

AU has several public machines available for student and/or faculty use.  For information about computing labs, hours of operation, supplies available for purchase and prices, click here.

See our Tutorial section if you are interested in learning how to subscribing or unsubscribing to student classifieds, to set up a folders in Groupwise and automatically have incoming mail move into a specific folder, to install and configure McAfee to automatically update and scan your hard drive or to FTP from anywhere to your network drive.

The Download link provides easy web access to software available for student use.  ITS encourages all students to have anti-virus software running on their machine.  New viruses come out daily so you will want to make sure your anti-virus program updates at least weekly.  McAfee is not currently available for download as this is a copyrighted program which has been purchased by AU for your use.  If you do not have an anti-virus software on your machine, you can pick up an install CD from the Decker Labs which contains the McAfee software as well as other free software available to students.
