Computing & Information Services | Brown University

Rooms with Windows and Macintosh computers and printers are located at various locations around campus.  Computers are installed with specialized software and courseware.

A variety of electronic and administrative services are made available to Brown Community members who require access to the services.  New Brown faculty, staff and students automatically receive some services (such as email and network access) when activating their account.

By logging into MyAccount, members of the Brown community can manage personal information that is displayed in the Brown directory, add a mobile phone number for emergency contact, change their password for Brown services, and more.

Each residence room has one wired port per resident which provides both campus and Internet access. Devices on the residence hall wired network must be registered via My Connection upon connecting for the first time.

Listservs allow the creation of and subscription to email lists. These lists are configurable by the list owners and are used to distribute mail among subscribers.

For a similar service using GoogleApps@Brown, see Google Groups.
