Computers

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 Network Operations Center, or ResNOC, located on the ground floor of Elmwood Hall (Phase 3A) in Traditional housing. Once a student has setup their computer correctly, they are required to register the computer on the network via a web-based registration system. Students authenticate themselves on the network using their Email username and password. Telephone and e-mail support are available at extension 8040 (ResNet Help Line) and ResNet@UMassD.Edu, respectively.
