Welcome to ResNet!

Soon, you will receive the Are You Ready For ResNet? information guide in the mail. It is important that all residents read the guide carefully and follow the steps outlined in it. The guide contains information that will help to ensure that new residents are able to setup their computer with the least possible hassle.

Also, students and parents should take a moment to read the ResNet File Sharing Advisory, which covers Chico State's policies on illegal file sharing and how violations are handled.

Don't take the risk of illegal file sharing! Check out Chico State's Get Legal site for information on how to legally obtain digital entertainment.

Please be aware that violations of the university's Acceptable Use Policy, including illegally sharing copyrighted files, will result in the termination of your ResNet connection.
