If you did not buy your laptop from UNC through the [ http://www.unc.edu/cci ] CCI program, then you will need to have it configured for use on our network and possibly download or purchase any recommended software.
To register your network and/or wireless card so that it will work with our network, visit [ http://help.unc.edu/?id=4924 ] Connecting to the UNC Network - Getting Started for more information.
Most software that we use at UNC can be downloaded for free at our [ https://shareware.unc.edu ] shareware.unc.edu site. The only other software we recommend is Microsoft Office.
Students have two options for obtaining the Microsoft Office software:
-
They may purchase the software from the RAM Shop at Student Stores by either visiting the RAM Shop or by placing an order through the [ http://store.unc.edu ] UNC Student Stores web site.
-
They may borrow any software that does not require a key code from the Undergraduate Library (Media Resource Center). The Media Resource Center is located in the basement of the Undergraduate Library.
