SU Students and Graduate Students have access to software for their personal computers, as well as access to virtual applications from their personal computers when not on campus.   A complete listing of those services is available on this article:     Student software access

Internet Access

Students have access to the Internet through three options: through the campus wireless network, by logging into an IT computer lab computer, or through the wired network in residential halls.

To access the wireless network, you will connect to SU-Secure. If this is your first time connecting to the wireless network, connect to SU-Connect and open up a web browser. This will run a step-by-step wizard connecting you to SU-Secure.

To access the wired residence hall connection, just plug your computer into the available Ethernet port in your room using an Ethernet cable. You'll be prompted to log in when you open a browser. Once connected, you'll be prompted to log in once every two to twenty-four hours, depending on your computer's activity.

For gaming consoles and other network devices that don't have a browser, either connect the device using an Ethernet cable to your port, or connect wirelessly to the SU-Connect network. You will need to register your device in order for it to work the first time. You will need your device's MAC address when registering.

Smartphones, tablets, and other devices can also be set up to connect wirelessly and, in most cases, to check your student e-mail using the device's mail or the Outlook app.

Using Computers on Campus

All SU students receive Microsoft Office 365 (Install Office for Windows or Mac) for free as part of their SU email account. This includes the use of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint for both Mac and Windows users
