Laptop Connection and Testing Requirements

The following items must be completed in order to access the School of Medicine network and the online testing system.

We strongly advise you to complete the following steps prior to orientation. The items below can be completed off-campus and will make the connection process during orientation quicker and easier. Several of these steps only take a few minutes to complete and the more you do in advance, the sooner you will have access to the network on campus. School of Medicine IT staff will be on hand during the to assist you if you have any problems. You can also drop by the School of Medicine IT Service Desk in 65 MacNider anytime during orientation for support.

Please note: A laptop computer is required for several orientation sessions. If you do not bring the laptop that you plan to use for the entire school year (e.g. waiting on financial aid funds to purchase a new laptop) it is your responsibility to bring your new laptop by the School of Medicine IT Service Desk in 65 MacNider to confirm that it is properly configured for online testing.

If you ordered a CCI laptop, many of these steps will already be completed when you pick up your laptop.
