What is Network Device Registration?
The Network Device Registration is a new way of keeping track of any device that "plugs in" to the Vassar College Network. It will enable CIS to better serve the Vassar community by heading off viruses, trojans, and other potential threats to the security of the Vassar network and its community members, and to your personal information.
What is a Network Device?
A network device is any item (including computers and printers) that communicates with other devices over the network. In this case, we are referring to only items that connect to the network connection on the wall using a network cable rather than using a wireless network connection.
What is the deadline for registration?
Voluntary registration will continue through the end of the year. Soon after the start of 2008, required registration will begin. As was done with the residence halls, required registration will be activated one location at a time.
When are the prize drawings and how do I enter?
The prize drawings are over. They were held in September during voluntary registration and our winners have been awarded.
What information are you collecting and how will it be used?
Registration simply links your name with your computer and IP address. This system will alert us if your computer is compromised by a virus or is using an excess of bandwidth and allow us to contact you about the problem. The information will not be shared and the College does not monitor your activity.
