For Students
When you unpack your new computer equipment, remember to record the serial
numbers and to send in the registration cards. Keep a record of your
serial numbers in a safe place.
Security and Insurance
- Mark your computer and accessories with the engraving equipment available
from the Dartmouth Department of Safety and Security (646-4000). You will be
asked to leave your Dartmouth ID card when you borrow the engraving equipment;
the ID card will be returned to you when you return the equipment.
- Keep your room or office locked whenever you are out.
- Do not leave your computer and accessories unattended in public
places.
- Insure your own computer against theft, fire, and other risks through a
homeowner's policy or some other commercially available policy. Although a
homeowner's policy does provide some coverage for personal belongings that may
include personal computers, it is usually limited in value and does not cover
some of the likely sources of damage you may encounter, such as power surges or
food or drink spilled onto the keyboard. For more information, contact your
insurance carrier.
- If your computer or equipment is stolen while you are at Dartmouth, in
addition to notifying the Department of Safety and Security and your insurance
carrier, you should also notify Computer Sales
and Service in 171 Carson Hall (646-3249). They maintain a database of
equipment reported stolen.
Computer Orientation
If you are a student new to Dartmouth or new to a personal computer, we
recommend you attend the computer orientation sessions provided at the start of
fall term each year. In addition, students, faculty, and staff members may
attend any of the computer "workshops" offered by Dartmouth's Human Resources
Organizational Learning and Professional Development program each
term. Many of the courses cover the use of personal computers for specific
programs or Dartmouth network services. For information about these computer
workshops, see Professional
Development.
