Frequently Asked Questions

Categories
General   Questions
Should I buy a laptop or desktop?
This is a personal preference. Many students do prefer laptops to desktops because of the flexibility. In addition, if the student needs help with their laptop, they are able to bring it to the Helpdesk window for support.
Do I need to buy a printer?
This is a personal preference. There is printing available in the Library and in the technology classrooms.
What software do I need?
Every computer on campus is required to have virus protection, in order to connect to the network. Windows XP is the current standard on campus. Windows Vista is available for purchase; however, there are some compatibility issues with a few services that we offer. We are working to resolve these issues and expect to have many of these issues resolved by the start of the semester. The campus also uses Office 2007 which includes Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and outlook.

My name has changed, how do I get my network account to match my new name?

You must first update your information with the Registrar's Office before any changes can be made.

1. We can change your display name and the username/e-mail address will still stay the same. This change can be made without any downtime.

2. We can recreate your username/e-mail address. We need a two hour time slot between 8:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. to make this migration.

Please contact us at 614-253-3633 to submit a Support Request.
