To gain access to the network all students are required to have a UFnet account. This account grants access to a variety of resources, including, but not limited to: 1) the UF network, 2) UF e-mail, 3) Blackboard, 4) the myFindlay portal, 5) UF Calendar, 6) User Shares, 7) the wireless Internet and 8) lab printing. Students are reminded that all official electronic correspondence will be sent to their UFnet e-mail accounts.
 
All wired network ports are secured with the UF Network Access System.  Any computer connected to the network is required to have up-to-date anti-virus software, anti-spyware software, current operating system security patches, and the UF Security Notification software.

The first time you connect your computer to the UF Network, you will be asked to download a small program that runs in the background and transmits information about your computer's software back to the NAS.  After this is installed, computers failing to meet any of the requirements will be sent notification with directions for addressing deficiencies.  Technology Support Services (ext. 4357 on campus) is also available to assist you.
