How do I get connected?
	On Campus: Computer labs: over fifty locations offering Macintosh, Windows, and Unix systems, plus software, printers, scanners, and more. Plug into any laptop port or use wireless service.
	In Residence Halls: Each resident has a high-speed Ethernet connection. Apply online and get help at ResCom—your connection will be activated in one to two days.
	Off Campus: Over 2,000 dialup modems are provided. Some apartments located off-campus provide high-speed Internet access, or you can purchase service from an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Did you know? You need an Access Account before you can connect. Your Guide to Information Technology @ Penn State contains detailed information and instructions for getting connected to the Penn State network and the Internet. Printed IT guides are available at ITS Help Desks.
