Students in Housing


Greetings FGCU Student,
A large number of students PCs are infected with one or more viruses or worms. Infected computers can infect other PCs on the network and adversely impact network performance. To help protect your machine and our network, we have implemented a computer registration process.Your computer will be scanned and it must meet specific requirements prior to connecting to the Internet in housing.

Registration Credentials

In order to register you will need to have your FGCU student email account activated. If you have not activated your student email account, please go to http://eagle.fgcu.edu and follow the steps to activate your account.

If you have activated your account, and do not remember your Eagle Mail username or password you can look them up by going to http://admin.fgcu.edu/IS/applications/studentaccts/acctlookup.asp


Network Requirements

FGCU’s Computing Services offers a Pre-Scan option to make the connection process easier. The Bradford Networks Dissolvable Agent (Pre-Scan) allows students to scan their computers and fix any conflicting software problems prior to coming to campus. Please note that a full system scan by the Bradford Networks Campus Manager will still be required upon registration on campus.
The Bradford Networks Campus Manager registration system has a set of policies in place to scan your computer to verify the following credentials:

Current and up to date operating system:

  • Microsoft Windows XP – Service Pack 3
  • Microsoft Vista – Service Pack 1
  • Mac - Mac OS X 10.1 or greater

Virus protection with latest updates:

  • If you do not have a valid antivirus solution, FGCU Housing provides you with a free copy of McAfee Anti Virus software.
  • During the registration process on campus you will be given the opportunity to download and install McAfee. Directions are provided throughout the process of installation.

Multiple antivirus solutions conflict with one another and will cause you to fail the Bradford scan. Please note you must uninstall any previous antivirus solutions from your computer before you can install McAfee. If you would like to install McAfee now, click the following link
