As a new student, the first and most important thing you need are your credentials! Your new Username and password will give you access to the various systems and platforms you’ll begin using right now and even more when you arrive on campus.
Get Ready
Before You Arrive On Campus
On May 8, your Username and password will be available on Your Admissions Status Page . With your new Furman Username and password, you can now leave that page behind and look forward to using Workday for all financial, course registration and other data records.
Whether you’ve forgotten your password or just ready for a change, you want access to Password Station (FUPass) so set it up first thing!
Once you have your Username and password, install Microsoft Office Professional for Students on your Windows or Mac computer.
We’ve included just a few minimums to keep in mind if you are buying a new computer to bring to campus.
Check out the recommended computer specifications and computer vendors
You will not be able to access the Furman network without the most recent updates.
You’ve already heard about Workday, Password Station, Office and there will be more resources available such as:
Moodle Learners Basics for Students
Once You Arrive On Campus (Undergraduate students only)
The student residential network (MyResnet FAQ) does not restrict the type of devices you can connect at Furman. Through a partnership with MyResnet you may now connect wireless printers, echo systems and many more while in your residence.
MyResNet provides 24-hour support to assist you in connecting to the residential network and can be reached at (833) 493-4891 or support@apogee.us
The FU-Student wifi network is available in all other buildings except the residence halls. (e.g., academic buildings, library, dining hall) and does require the use of the Furman anti-virus software (Trend Micro) and network access control agent (FortiNAC).
The network access control (NAC) agent will register devices, check for security updates, and direct you to the required anti-virus software.
You may download the software when you are redirected from the NAC agent or you may bring your computer and power cable to the New Student Computer Setup event during orientation (hours listed below).
Anti-virus software is not required for tablets and smartphones, but you must register these devices if you want to use them on the FU-Student network.
If you have any problems or questions please contact the IT Service Center.
The IT Service Center will have special resources available to help beginning August 18 . For this event, an appointment is required so that we limit the number of people in the library.
