Information Technology at FSU

To succeed at FSU, students need some basic information technology skills. At a minimum, students should be able to

1. Access Banner Self-Service to register for classes, check their grades, etc. (click here for instructions);
2. Access their FSU e-mail account to check for messages from instructors, staff, and other students.
3. Access Blackboard, FSU's gateway to online course materials; and
4. Log in to the network from a campus computer (.pdf format; Adobe Acrobat Reader required to view).
5. Access your VIP Page, a personalized portal with information you will need to succeed at FSU. The VIP Page has different log-in from your FSU network. (You can re-set it to match your FSU information after you first log in.) If you were admitted for Fall 2010, you should have received an e-mail with log-in information. 

If you own a computer, you may wish to

1. connect your computer to the network from a residence hall;
2. connect to wireless access points distributed around campus;
3. access Chesnutt Library resources remotely.

The links above will take you to the information you need to learn these skills.

iNside FSU allows you to access Blackboard, e-mail, Banner, and much more with a single log-in. Use your network username and password to log in.

If you don't own a computer, there are a number of computer labs on campus:

The ITTS (Information Technology and Telecommunications Services) website has much more about information technology @ FSU.
