Residence Hall Wifi - Over the summer we changed wifi vendors for the residence halls. We expect your wifi experience in the residence halls to be much better than what you experienced with Decatur WiFi in years past. The residence hall wifi network is called Scottie WiFi. We are in the final stages of setting the system up and hope to make it available to you sometime the week of August 22nd. When we are ready to let you login, we will send an email with connection and login information.
P.A.W. Print - Campus-wide print management solution: For details review the P.A.W. Print Overview
Thin client Installed - Currently thin clients have been installed in the main computing cluster in the library, the ground floor study carrels in the library, Butler Business Center and Student Leadership Center. These devices DO NOT have local storage. You must store your work on a usb-drive. You MUST select the appropriate printer before printing, signs have been placed around the thin clients listed the appropriate printer.
Network Access & Security - Over the summer, we replaced the Cisco Clean Access with a new network access control system. The new system is called Bradford Network Access Control.
All students will be prompted to install a the network access control software when
accessing the internet from the resident halls or from WoofWoof WIFI. We have created some brief instructions on how to install this new software.

All faculty, staff and visitors to the college who attempt to connect a personal computer to the campus network that is not part of the college computer inventory will be blocked from network access without meeting established security settings.
