It is strongly recommended that you set up Internet access from your off-campus computer. Internet access will enable you to use email, do research on the web, access library electronic resources, and participate in the online activities required for many courses. There are a number of ways to set up Internet access from your off-campus computer:

High Speed Access

• ResNet
  If you will be staying in the Residence Halls or other off-campus housing with ResNet connectivity, you will have high speed (max. 10mb/sec) Internet access. Check to see if you will be part of ResNet. Setup and configuration information is provided in the software section below.
• On-campus Wireless
  If you own a laptop, you can access the WildcatWireless service free of charge when you are on campus. For instructions, see our Wireless Instructions page.

Modem Access

• Wildcat Dial-up
  CNS offers unlimited modem access (56k max) to CSU, Chico students through Wildcat Dial-up. Contact CNS at 898-6868 or see the CNS home page for more information. You will need to have an active WildcatMail account and configure your computer (see software section below).
• Other Internet Service Providers
  Access to CSU Chico email, web, library, and other electronic resources is also available using Internet connection provided by any other local or national Internet providers.

Setup Documents
