  4. Using the scroll bar at the right, read NMU's Computer Network Acceptable Use Policy and then click I Have Read the NMU Acceptable Use Policy button at the bottom.

     
  5. You now must answer a short test about NMU's Computer Network Acceptable Use Policy that you just read in the previous step. Answer the quesitons by clicking the buttons corresponding to the correct answers and then click Submit Answers at the bottom of the page.
  6. Your registration is now complete. For security, click the Logout button on the final screen or simply close your browser window.


    It will take about 10 minutes before you have full access to the campus network. Please remember to register each connection available for each computer you will be using to access the campus network.

Computer Registration information

Documentation

For full access to the Internet and NMU network services over the NMU on-campus wired and wireless areas, you must register each network interface (wired and wireless are separate entries) on your computer. Before you register, you will only be able to access limited on-campus Web sites, and you will not have E-mail access.

With the growing availability of wired and wireless network access points across campus, it has become necessary to know who is using our network. It is our intention to prevent unauthorized use of the network, to protect our network community from unwanted access attempts, and to better track the movement of stolen equipment. Registration has been implemented in order to provide security to our network systems and to prevent unauthorized malicious, or illegal use of the NMU network system.

There is no limit to the number of computers you can register. However, please note that your NMU ID will be attached to each computer you register, and you will be responsible for the actions performed using this machine.
