Computers connected to the College Network must be running an operating system approved by the College — if your computer is running an older operating system, you must upgrade it before you can connect. See the table below for more information.
If you are likely to have difficulty in meeting the cost of an upgrade, you should contact the Communications Officer in confidence, who will be able to help.
