Who?  Computer Services will support only University owned hardware and software.

The Technology Services Department provides direct support to University-owned computers.  Computers owned by students are not supported.  Internet access in the residence halls is provided by College Cable Services, Inc. Students experiencing difficulty connecting to the internet should contact College Cable's 24 hour help desk at (888) 467-9004 or the University of Montevallo's Office of Housing and Residence Life at (205) 665-6235, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Monday - Friday.   

Internet Access
By definition, the Internet is an open access environment. Students at the U of M are provided Internet access via the computer labs and through wireless connections in the individual residence hall rooms.

Because the Internet is a public forum, care should be taken when using it. Internet browsers are available on every lab computer.

In-Room Access
Individual residence hall rooms are equipped with wireless internet.  Wireless routers are not necessary in these residence halls. 

To connect to the regular broadband network from your room, your computer must have a wireless network card (10BaseT Ethernet) installed.    Installation of the card is the resident’s responsibilities. Some computer stores in the area can do fee based installation and service.

Technology Services and the Bookstore will not install or support these products. 

Computer Lab Help
If you have trouble with a computer between 8 am and 5 pm Monday thru Friday, call the Technology Services Help Desk at 6520.

Between 6 pm and 9 pm Monday thru Thursday night, you can call the Resident Technical Assistant (RTA) on call. The phone numbers will be posted in the labs.

Because the hall labs are not staffed with lab assistants, 24-hour help is not available.

You are also not allowed to load, or download from the Internet, any software, screen savers, or games on these computers. Doing this can change the setup on the system and can lock up the computer.
