1. Set up your NetID and password: Your University NetID is the key to most technology resources on campus, including email, campus networks, shared file systems, and the insideND portal. To set up your NetID and password, visit the NetID activation page.
2. Access your student email and calendar: Just go to gmail.nd.edu and log in with your NetID and password that you set up in step one.
3. Connect to the ND Network: You'll want to get your computers, phones, and other devices connected to either the campus wired network or our eduroam wireless network. If you're trying to connect an entertainment system or gaming device, there are special steps for those devices that you should follow.
4. Configure printing on your computer: The OIT provides all students with a quota of free printing as part of your campus technology fee. Be sure to set up your computer to use the PrintND service to print in a residence hall or any OIT computer lab.
5. Purchase a Computer: The Hammes Hub is a full-service technology store located in the Hammes Bookstore at the Eck Center. You can take advantage of ND discounts on Apple, Dell and Lenovo computers, computer accessories and software.
6. Do not use your student account to create a YouTube account! Your student Google account will only remain active as long as you are a student at Notre Dame. If you want to start a YouTube channel, use a personal account. Once your account is disabled when you graduate, you won't be able to access your YouTube channel, and there is no way to transfer a channel from one account to another.
