After you arrive on campus:
Step 1: Connect your phone and computer to Eduroam:
The first thing you will likely want to do when you arrive on campus is connect to wifi. The main wifi network that's used across campus is named "Eduroam". Once you've signed into Eduroam once, you'll have wifi in any building on campus. Additionally, certain other colleges and institutions use Eduroam as well. If you're signed into Eduroam at St. Lawrence, you'll be connected to wifi anywhere that has Eduroam!

Step 2: Connect to SLU Public Printing:
On St. Lawrence's campus, there are public copiers that can be used to print documents for class. Each student gets a printing budget of $48 annually. Black and White pages cost 6 cents per page, color pages cost 30 cents per page. In order to print, "SLU Public Printing" must be installed as a printer. Then after you print to SLU Public Printing, simply scan your ID card at any public copier, and your print job will release at the copier in front of you.

Step 3: Connect your game consoles and Smart TVs to SLU Gamer:
Once you've gotten your phone and computer fully set up, you are free to connect any smart devices to the wifi as well. The SLU Gamer network is used to connect game consoles and media devices like smart TVs, Chromecasts, Apple TVs, Fire Sticks, etc. Unlike Eduroam, SLU Gamer uses a specific password that you can use to connect with.
Step 4: Connect your TV to the cable
If you have a brought a TV to campus and you would like to be able to watch cable television, you will need to connect the TV to the cable box in your dorm room with a coaxial cable. Most TVs will need to run a "Channel Scan" in order to discover all of the channels. You can find instructions for how to do so on your TV manufacturer's support website. If you find there is any damage to the cable box in your dorm room, please contact the ODY Service Desk and we can schedule a repair team to come to your dorm and repair the issue.
Step 5: Get your Student Mail Center combination
While you're a student at St. Lawrence, you will have your own mailbox at the Student Center on the bottom floor. Your mail will be locked inside your mailbox and you will need to obtain the combination before you can open it. The combination can be found in your residence profile.
The Student Mail Center has its own website which you can visit here.
