From Aug. 21-24, K-State IT staff will be working with the 5,300 students moving into the residence halls and Jardine Apartments, to prepare their computers for accessing the network. Students must:
- Update their computers with the latest operating system patches
- Install the managed version of K-State’s antivirus software
- Set an appropriate administrator password
- Verify their computer’s operating system license
- Install necessary operating system updates
- Install the Kansas State University antivirus solution
- Install the Client Security Agent (CSA)
- Verify their successful registration to the campus network
Once these steps are completed, students register their computer to sign on to the campus network. To date, more than 1,600 students moving into the residence halls have completed the process remotely, which is available from www.k-state.edu/infotech/networks/access.
