Get your computer Macalester-ready!

When you get to campus, you will be required to register your computer. Registration will ensure that your computer's operating system is up-to-date and that you have working antivirus and antispyware software installed.

Preparing your computer ahead of time will save you time and make connecting to Macalester's network easier. We now offer a scan that will tell you exactly what your computer needs to connect to the network. Get your computer Macalester-ready by scanning your computer before you arrive on campus!

To get started, click the Download button below, then double-click the Bradford Dissolvable Agent to begin the scan.

A couple of important notes:

1. This scan will not register your computer for use on the Macalester network; you will still need to register when you arrive on campus.
   
   
2. Antivirus/Antispyware updates are usually released daily, and operating system updates occur frequently, so you may still need to update your computer in order to register successfully when you arrive on campus.
