As you prepare for the new school year, here are some IT "things to know" to get your tech up and running.
Getting Connected
UD’s Secure Wi-Fi: EduRoam
Connect to UD’s secure Wi-Fi. From each device, visit go.udayton.edu/wifi and follow the setup steps. Once complete, your device will automatically connect to EduRoam at UD (and other EduRoam institutions worldwide whenever you're in range!)
Is your device from last year not connecting? A password change drops your EduRoam connection; if you’ve changed your UD password since last spring, re-run the setup at go.udayton.edu/wifi to reconnect.
Protecting Your UD Computing Account
UD students are required to enroll in UD’s 2-factor authentication (2FA) program for added account security. Details are at go.udayton.edu/2FA.
Gaming Devices
UD supports online gaming devices in residence halls and the student neighborhood. Learn more (including how to register your device) at go.udayton.edu/gaming.
TV Program Options
UD’s cable TV service includes a selection of local and campus cable channels. Find the channel lineup and setup tips at go.udayton.edu/tv. Register your Internet TV device and learn more about many free and student-discounted streaming services available at go.udayton.edu/internetTV
Preparing for Classes
Technology Requirements
In addition to having a computer that meets UD’s Student Computer Requirement, make sure to have a working headset (headphones / earbuds with a microphone) and webcam so you can take full advantage of the flexible options for class delivery your faculty have prepared.

Tips for Success in Online Classes
Completing an online course requires a different skill set than you might have used in a face-to-face class. Besides academic skills, online learning environments require a solid grasp of technology, communication, and personal learning preferences.
Visit go.udayton.edu/keeplearning to familiarize yourself with strategies and applications you'll often use in your courses.
Downloading UD-Licensed Software
You can find everything from Microsoft products to course-specific packages like SPSS at go.udayton.edu/software.
Remote Lab Access
If your class requires VPN access to course-specific resources, learn how to up VPN access to the UD network.
UD also provides access to lab and academic software remotely through our Academic Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). If you encounter difficulties while attempting to download the required software onto your computer, utilizing the Academic VDI presents a convenient solution to access software and tools essential for the class
Printing
UD has several FlyerPrint devices across campus for printing, copying, and scanning. Learn more and find convenient printer locations in the Student Printing at UD | IT GUIDE.
Check your balance. Before you print, make sure there’s money in your FlyerExpress account. If you have insufficient funds, the job will not print.
