Residential Life Policy: Computing in Your Room
All residence hall student rooms are wired for access to the Brown network with one tap per resident. To access the Brown network from your residence hall room, you will need an Ethernet card in your computer. More information about getting connected to the network is available from Computing and Information Services.
Be certain to read the Brown policy on using computing resources available from Computing and Information Services and Student Rights and Responsibilities. It is important to know the guidelines for proper use as well as the things that are not allowed (e.g., University resources may not be used for personal financial gain, partisan political activity or candidate campaigning, or to harass someone). Remember that when you link to the network you are using University resources, and we all are obligated to abide by the University's computing policies.
Incoming first-years may wish to visit the Computing and Information Services site dedicated to incoming students.
