  1. Activate your UDelNet and UD email account
  2. Protect and clean your computer
  3. Set up a secure password
  4. Protect your personal information
  5. Read IT's pre-purchase information
  6. Read about other items to bring to campus

On campus

After you complete the before-you-arrive items, a few tasks you need to take care of once you are on campus include the following:

  • Required software from UDeploy
    All computers connected to the UD network MUST have McAfee Antivirus software installed. You can download a free version of this software from UDeploy. UDeploy is the Web site to download UD-licensed and customized software, including antivirus programs, Web browsers, and utilities.
  • Current contact information
    It's very important that the University have the correct contact information for you in case of an emergency. Follow these instructions to check--and update if necessary--your contact information.
  • Cable TV in residence halls
    Information about how to set up your TV to the University's cable TV system.
