NetReg: Online Network Registration |
The following is a guide to NetReg, Louisiana State University's online network registration system:
What is NetReg?
If you are trying to use your laptop on campus, and have not accessed the LSU Network already, you will be prompted to log in to this Web site. If you don't log on using NetReg, you won't be able to access the Internet or your (a student or faculty member's) personal storage drive. This security precaution is vital so that there are no anonymous users accessing the University network. Registration is typically only required once a year, and once a computer is registered it can be moved anywhere on campus.
If you are a member of the faculty and staff and have not previously registered with NetReg, you must create a guest account HERE. If you are a guest but are not a member of the faculty or staff, you can go to the Help Desk at Frey Computing Services to have an account created for you. These accounts last for one week. ( More )
