Overview

How do I best prepare my technologies to ensure I have no issues at Gustavus?

Details

1. Run all available updates on your machines
2. Ensure that your machine is protected from viruses by using an Anti-Virus client with up-to-date definitions
3. Be sure that your devices can sign in to your Gustavus account and important websites such as MyGustavus (my.gustavus.edu), Self Service (selfservice.gustavus.edu), Moodle (moodle.gustavus.edu), etc.
4. Verify that you have all of the necessary software documentation, serial numbers, and installation media. Please bring these to campus with you
5. During any transition, it's wise to make backups of any critical data. We recommend a cloud-based backup
6. Still shopping for a computer?  We recommend you bring whatever computer/operating system you are comfortable with.  Be sure to inquire about education discounts; many vendors give discounts to those who have a .edu email address
