What's New for 2007


COMPUTER Registration for Residents Halls (Cisco Clean Access)

As part of TAMUG's Computing Policy we scan all Student computers that are attached to the University Network to make sure they meet a minimum security configuration.   This minimum security configuration consists of virus protection and verification that certain worms or virus are not present on the student's computer.  

In order to access the Network/Internet from your room in the resident halls (Hulabaloo -A dorm, Oceans- B dorm, Mariner Hall -C dorm, Pelican Island Private Student Housing and University Apartments Galveston), you must first download the Cisco Clean Access Agent and install it on your computer.  You will then be prompted to login using your NetID/Neo username and password.  Downloading the CCA Agent is done from a web page automatically when you open your Internet browser.  Read ON....

New Students
If you are having trouble with your computer or just want to know more about the campus and how to access your information online, then check out this link to answer any questions.  If you still have questions after reading the Student Information Packet, then come by the CIS office in CLB, Room 115.
