Additional Information
- You will connect to the internet through our high speed broadband connections which are installed in all University Dorm Rooms. You will need to have a 10/100 network card in your computer and a CAT5 network cable. No other equipment is required. Individual dial-up accounts are not permitted.
- Although most students do have a personal computer for convenience, none of the undergraduate programs at Campbell University require students to have a personal computer.
- Student Computer labs are available on campus.
- All windows-based machines are REQUIRED to have subscription-based antivirus program installed. More info.
- File sharing has, in the past, interfered with official University Business and valid educational endeavors and therefore, is not allowed at any time.
- Students should check for and clean their computers of “spyware” before attempting to logon to the Campbell network. There are several free tools available for spyware detection and removal. The best are: Adaware and Spybot and Malwarebytes.
- You must install all Critical/High Priority operating system updates. Go to www.windowsupdate.com for more information. Additionally, your machine should be setup to check for updates automatically.
- Please bring all setup/restore disks and documentation with your computer.
- Students are not allowed to have wireless routers or access points in the dorms. If a wireless access point or router is discovered in your room, your network privileges may be disabled for the remainder of the semester and the router/access point will be confiscated.
- Due to bandwidth concerns, the usage of some high bandwidth devices such as HD Streaming Video players may lead to the throttling back or limiting of bandwidth to individual students. The University Internet connection for the dorms is primarily for academic purposes and the usage of the network for nonacademic purposes will be curtailed if it begins to interfere with academic use.
- If you do not have a floppy drive you may wish to buy a memory stick for file transport.
