Back-to-School IT Resources

As the campus prepares to welcome students back for Fall quarter, UCSB IT wants to make sure you’re equipped with the technology to tackle a new school year. From secure wi-fi to printing access, we have a handful of resources available for students.

eduroam is the secure, recommended on-campus wi-fi network for students, with international roaming access for the research and educational community. For information on how to connect, explore here.

ResNet

Residential Network (ResNet) provides network, printing and high-speed Internet connection services for residents living in University-owned housing. Learn more about the services offered by ResNet, how to register your devices, and get support online or from a Network Consultant here.

Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)

Duo multi-factor authentication (MFA) is the campus’ safeguard against cybercrime, requiring users to verify their log-ins to campus services. Students must use MFA to protect their data on many campus applications.. Learn how to enroll in MFA with the Duo app, our recommended authentication method, here.
