Free Anti-Virus Software
For the protection of your personal computer as well as the university's technology
infrastructure services, all computers connected to the campus networking
infrastructure (including from an off-campus computer that connects remotely
to CSUN's networking infrastructure via wireless, VPN, or dialup) are required
to have an updated antivirus client installed. Beginning January 31, 2005
faculty, staff, and students who don't already have an updated antivirus
client installed on their personal laptop or home computer can visit the
campus web portal and download a free copy of Symantec Antivirus Corporate
Edition 9.0.
With updated antivirus software installed, your computer will be much less likely to be infected by a software virus which can harm your personal/ work documents as well as the university network.

Student email
Email is the official form of campus communication, students are responsible
for activating and maintaining their campus email account so that they can
receive messages from professors, Financial Aid, registration, course changes,
etc. If students prefer to use Hotmail, Yahoo or another non-CSUN email account
to receive email, they can configure their CSUN account to automatically
forward email to their preferred account.
Students can find information on how to activate their CSUN User ID online, and can configure mail forwarding by visiting the Campus Account Utility located at https://www.csun.edu/account.
Questions regarding either of these services should be directed to the University Help Desk at campus ext. 1400 or by email to helpdesk@csun.edu.
