Students living on campus have the opportunity to connect to the UMass Dartmouth Residential Network. This provides a significantly faster Internet connection than those available through a traditional telephone line. Every bed in the residence halls has a port, which means that every student can have a network connection in their room. This type of connection requires the computer to be equipped with an Ethernet Adapter.
Students may obtain installation kits from the Residential Technology Support Center, or ResTech, located in the lower level of Elmwood Hall.
Once students have set up their computers correctly, they are required to register the computers on the network via a web-based registration system. Students authenticate themselves on the network using their E-mail username and password.
