Software on public computers

To help keep computers more secure and up-to-date, our partners in OIT have reduced the number of software titles installed on each computer. This includes replacing Chrome with Edge, the standard Microsoft browser. But don't worry! Many of the titles can be quickly downloaded from the software center and installed each time you use a computer in our spaces.

Multi-factor authentication

We all know how important it is to keep our digital systems secure these days. A big part of that process involves making it harder for someone to use stolen usernames and passwords. That's where multi-factor authentication (MFA) comes in! It takes an extra second or two, but it makes it much more difficult to abuse stolen information and keeps all of us safer.

 

Steps for using our computers

Step 1- Login to the computer

You will need a valid NetID to complete this process.

Step 2- Download software

Use Software Center to install programs like Chrome.

Step 3- Authenticate

Looking to use Microsoft Word or other software titles? You will need to authenticate using Microsoft MFA.
