Connecting to UNCW's Servers with a Macintosh

Note: You must have a UNCW domain account to access the server. If you do not have an account, call the Technology Assistance Center at x4357 to have one set up. Once you have an account, your computer will need to be configured to access the server. It is recommended you contact the Technology Assistance Center at x4357 for this.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
You must first be connected to the UNCW Network.  If you are on campus then you are already connected.  If you are off-campus, then you will need to have a VPN connection, therefore connecting you to our network.  If you need help setting this up, CLICK HERE for instructions.
