Don't Forget:  Do These Now!

Take a (virtual) tour of the HSL

Get Networked

Set up the campus network on all your devices. It will save you time when you do library research. 

  • Allow up to 24 hours, once the registration process is complete, for the registration to take effect on the networks (usually takes an hour or two). 

BEST BET:  Plan ahead (several days) and get help from the experts at School of Medicine IT (SOM IT). 

Day before you come to SOM IT set up email: requires ONYEN/password; can do this step from home

  • Email sign-up
  • NOTE: Do NOT log in to student version of Office 365 suite IF you already have an active subscription to Office365 from outside UNC Chapel Hill.  This is even more important if you plan to use OneNote. 

School of Medicine IT:  https://www.med.unc.edu/it/

Go at least a day/preferably two in advance of library session

  • Bring your devices (laptops, smart phones, tablets, iPads, etc.)
  • Will help set up Eduroam, [UNC-PSK networking, backup/optional], F1000 Workspace citation manager (download and install; tools including desktop), dual authentication/verification
    • Note: if you already have Eduroam installed from an institution other than UNC Chapel Hill, it is best to remove that first.
    • For UNC-PSK network, you must let them know you will need to use your laptop/devices not just in SOM buildings, but also campus buildings such as the libraries.
  • Live Chat help:  help.med.unc.edu

Notes:  

Regarding Minimum computer requirements (from SOM IT):

  • Android devices: 5/lollipop or above (6/marshmallow, 7/nuggat, 8/oreo, 9/pie)
  • MAC/iOS:  Sierra/10.12 or higher; preferred High Sierra/10.13
  • Windows: Windows 10

Regarding Encryption:

  • Students:  most students will not have PHI/SI on their devices and will not require encryption.  If you do, then SOM IT can advise you on the encryption process, but you will be responsible for completing the tasks and storing your recovery token safely. 
  • Faculty/Staff: SOM IT will assist you with encryption if you have PHI/SI on your device.

About the Carolina Veterans Resource Center

The Carolina Veterans Resource Center (CVRC) is the next iteration of the efforts of the Office of the Dean of Students and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to serve and support the Carolina student veteran and military-affiliated student population. The CVRC will serve as a central location for these students to find resources as well as a community to support and aide them during their journey as Tar Heels. The Center provides study space, a lounge, conference rooms, and a lactation room.

From prospective student support, from and to our Red, White, and Carolina Blue Graduation Ceremony, the CVRC will serve as a hub for the support and recognition of our military-affiliated student population throughout their Carolina experience.
