Computer Usage for Rochester Instruction at Teaching Stations at University Square

Using U of M Rochester Computers at the Teaching Station

To use the computers at the teaching stations in Rochester and access the internet, you will need to get local access for a given semester. Please go to the weblink (http://www.umn.edu/myaccount) and add yourself to the Active directory section. You will need to enter your X.500 account. Once you have entered your account, you will see a window prompt with three options for you. Click on Update Account and scroll down all the way until you see two boxes to check. Please check those boxes and click submit. Then logout. 

Bringing your own Flash Drive

Or if you wish to just bring your flash drive with you, we can have you use the computer at the workstation and your flash drive. Many choose this option as then information is easy to access as you are familiar with it.  

Bringing your own laptop

If you wish to bring your own laptop, this is fine and we can connect you into the projection system.
