If you
are purchasing a new computer,
Information Services & Technology
recommends a
Dual Core Intel or AMD system
or higher with a minimum of 512 RAM,
a 10/100 network card, and Windows XP
Professional (not XP Home). We also
recommend at least a 40GB hard drive,
CD-RW/ DVD combo drive, and working USB
ports. For Mac users, the recommended
standard would be an IMAC G3 500Mhz or
better. We recommend Gateway®, Dell®, or
Apple® and have negotiated special
pricing for student purchases. For more
information visit our web site at
ist.leeuniversity.edu.
Wireless
ATTENTION: Wireless networking
is available in limited areas. The
University will be supporting the two
prominent networking standards (802.11b, and 802.11g). IMPORTANT:
Please do NOT bring wireless access
points, gateways, or routers for use in
dorm rooms or other locations. The
University is striving to provide
wireless services as quickly as possible
to as many areas as possible, but
security will not be sacrificed to do
this. Any wireless access points not
deployed and managed by the University
are forbidden and will be removed from
the campus network. Repeated violations
may result in disciplinary action.
Further information will be provided as
we finalize plans for the wireless
network.
Software
The campus, including faculty and staff,
is standardized on Microsoft Office
2003. You must use Microsoft Office if
you are preparing work for class.
Academic Editions are available at local
retailers.
