We support both Windows and Mac computers for student use for connecting to ResNet (wired) and CalvinStudents (wireless). Most of Calvin's resident students bring their own computers to campus each year. Calvin uses the Microsoft Office suite of software: Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Access. Professors expect electronically submitted files to be in a Microsoft Office readable format. NOTE: We do not currently support the Linux operating system or any non-English operating system. Students are able to connect to the Calvin network (ResNet or CalvinStudents) with Linux, but CIT does not offer any support for these connections. |

*Antivirus SoftwareIn order to connect to ResNet or Calvin Wireless it is required that you have Symantec Endpoint 11 or higher installed, up-to-date and that you regularly update the virus definitions. Calvin provides Symantec Endpoint to all Calvin students free of charge. **Network Interface Cards (NICs)We recommend that you come to Calvin with your Network Interface Card (NIC) already installed in your computer. This allows you to connect to ResNet and/or Calvin Wireless with greater ease and avoid the possibility of invalidating your computer's warranty. Note: A wireless NIC is necessary to connect to Calvin Wireless (see Requirements above). Additional Information |
