RezNet

RezNet is the high speed Internet service that is provided in your residence hall room.  It is a “wired” connection.  ECU offers wireless connections in the public areas (lobby, some laundry areas) of most residence halls, but in your room you will be using a Ethernet cable and port.  Bringing or using your own wireless access point is prohibited for security reasons.
Campus Living provides technical support via “house calls” from our Resident Computer Consultants (RCC).  Students can get assistance over the phone or request technical support from a RCC by calling the ITCS Helpdesk at 328-9866.  Students can also use the services of the ACE Computing Center in the Rawl Bulding.  The hours, location and contact information for ACE can be found at http://www.ecu.edu/ace/.

MRSA Information

ECU Student Health does see, evaluate and treat MRSA infections and has not experienced any recent increase in cases. Recent media reports have caused an increased concern over MRSA, a bacterial infection.  MRSA usually presents as a localized skin infection, such as a pimple or boil. Treatment normally consists of hot compresses, antibiotics and incision & drainage of the area if needed.  Many people naturally carry this bacteria on their skin but they do not get ill.  However, a break in the skin, even an opening too small to see, can allow the bacteria to cause infection.
