The University is only able to answer questions and provide other support for the above operating systems.
About Research Office Network Usage
In the past, in order to access the university network via network outlets in the research offices, it was necessary to submit a request for network connection to the head of the Organization for Information Management and Communication with every change in connection equipment (new installation, model change, or disposal). However, from 2019, by submitting the attached "Agreement for a Research Office Network Usage", you will no longer be required to submit individual requests each time.
Faculty required to submit
- Faculty who use private research offices
- Faculty who use (the network outlets at) collaborative research offices
Network outlets subject to this agreement
Network outlets in the private and collaborative research office
- In case of collaborative research offices, this agreement is required only for network outlets in your use.
- We kindly request that even those who have already obtained approval for use via submission of a network connection request submit this new agreement.
- If you fail to submit this agreement, for security purposes, we may stop you from using information outlets.
- If you require a static IP address or KWANSEI domain participation, please apply via the established procedures.
