This page is to clarify and explain services offered by University Technology for Mac users at Drew
The computing environment at Drew exists to serve and support all functions of the University, and is available to all members of the Drew community. Computing is optimized for Drew-issued computers, desktops and laptops, which are serviced in-house by CNS. CNS is able to offer a very high level of service for Drew-issued computers because the environment is designed specifically to support these machines. This means that any machines outside of the system for which the computing environment was designed cannot be supported in the same way.
This page describes what University Technology is able to offer to Mac users on campus.
1. Assistance getting connected to the wireless network (where to go for said assistance? or link?)
2. Connecting to Drew Network Drives on campus (wired)

- for non-Drew-owned computers (for Drew community members), Home Use Office for Mac (link to Computer Store -- the page has no reference to the HUP, nor are there even directions to the Computer Store. Should we be linking there? Or provide directions to/contact information for the Computer Store? Or leave them to take responsibility for their web page?)
