Linfield College recognizes the need to provide a high quality-computing environment. All students’ residence hall rooms have Linfield Network Connections along with Wireless Network access available in most public areas of Linfield. We have two computer labs for general student use open 24 hrs/7 days a week, and a number of academic departments have computers available for student use.

 Recommendations for a personal computer:

(These are examples and not specific computer configurations)

 To Connect to the Linfield College On-Campus Network:

Students using a Microsoft Windows operating system, e.g., Windows Vista or Windows 7, need to install Cisco Clean Access (a network authentication and validation security system) when they arrive on campus. Students that bring Mac computers only need to register on the Linfield network with their CATNet ID's. Personal computers are required to have all current critical Microsoft updates installed and a current Anti-Virus program with the latest Anti-Virus updates before they connect to the Linfield Network. ITS recommends and encourages you to download and install all Microsoft and Anti-Virus updates before you arrive on campus. Cisco Clean Access recognizes many anti-virus programs, among them are McAfee**, Norton, Avast, and TrendMicro. See below for a link to a complete approved AV List (once on the web page, scroll down to Clean Access AV Support Chart (Windows Vista / XP/ 2000).

**NOTE: McAfee anti-virus software is only provided for Linfield students residing on the McMinnville campus. The McAfee Antivirus software is available after you arrive on campus. There is no charge for the McAfee software.

 CatNet ID’s & Student Email Accounts 

CATNet ID’s and Linfield CATNet Accounts (email) are used for a variety of purposes: registering for classes, registering your computer on the Linfield Network, corresponding with professors, etc. Students can setup a CATNet ID online before arriving on campus. If you need assistance creating your CATNet ID after arriving on campus go to the ITS Support Desk in Mac Hall Rm. 106 for help.
