Student Connect Requests

Students should use the Computer Services Order Guide in myHelpdesk to submit device connection requests to ITS. Select the Student Device Connection option in the first question about Request Type. This option eliminates all billing-related fields as students do not get charged tag fees.  

Students can tag up to five devices, but we highly recommend using the student-specific Apollo network to self-register personal devices.
