  • Wired Network: To connect a computer, laptop, or other device to the campus wired network, you will need to configure your machine or sign-in with the protal, using the how-to instructions at Wired Network Registration. 
  • Virtual Private Network (VPN): If you are working from an off campus network and want to access secured systems, you will need to log in to the UA VPN (virtual private network).

Software: 

Software Downloads provides free or very low cost software available to UA students, faculty, and staff.

  • Get free Microsoft Office 365, Adobe Creative Cloud, Sophos antivirus, SolidWorks, Matlab, AutoDesk, and more.

Accessibilty and Assistive Technologies: 

  • Disability Resource Center and Assistive Technology Resources provide assistive technologies
  • itAccessibility provides information and resources about accessibility for instructors, web developers, or anyone creating digital resources—such as websites, documents, and videos.

Security:
