How to Register Your Computer Online
Using the Student Computer Network Registration Process
(NETREG)

 

Before attempting to register your computer using NETREG, please configure your computer for the University of Montevallo's network using the steps appropriate for your computer:

Once you have successfully configured your computer's network settings, you will be able to access the University's network, but the only web site you will be able to view will be the Network Registration site.

Here's how to register your computer with NETREG:

  1. Run Internet Explorer.  The UM Network Registration site will automatically load.  (If it doesn't, call the Help Desk at (205) 665-6520.)
     
  2. Click the link to read the Code for Computer Resource Use.
     
  3. Login to the registration page using your UMail username and password.
     
  4. Complete the registration form, following the onscreen instructions.
     
  5. Turn off your computer and unplug your patch cable from the wall jack.
     
  6. Wait five (5) minutes.
     
  7. Reconnect your patch cable to the wall jack and turn on your computer.
     
  8. You should now be able to access the Internet.

NOTE:  All students accessing the UM network are expected to abide by the Code for Computer Resource Use.  You can also contact the Computer Services Help Desk at (205) 665-6520 to obtain a copy of the Code.

Common Questions About NETREG:

  1. The NETREG page doesn't automatically display. What do I do?

  2. I don't know my UMail username and password.  How do I get this info?
    Come to the Computer Services Help Desk in Morgan Hall Room 109.  Be sure to bring your student ID.  Please note that the Help Desk will not give out account information over the phone.
     
  3. If I change rooms, will I have to register my computer again?
    If you change rooms during any given semester, you will not need to reregister your computer.  At the beginning of each term you will need to reregister your computer.
