The Information Technology 服务 (它的) department is your first stop for tech support. We support Oxy's technical infrastructure, such as wireless, Google Workspace, and classrooms. We also employ and train student workers.
激活你的氧.edu帐户
All Oxy students receive a network account (e.g.，你的名字@tbc007.net) to access the College’s computer network and various online services, including your email, protected online material and services, and computers in the public computing labs on campus.
In order to set up your account, go to My Account in Microsoft. Using the initial password from your 招生门户, 登录 with your username and initial password. After using your initial password, you will be prompted to enroll in Multifactor Authentication (MFA). 使用 安全信息 menu to change your password and control other settings related to MFA.
登录Gmail
Once you have activated your Oxy account though Microsoft, 登录 to your Oxy Gmail account; when prompted, type in your 满@oxy.Edu邮箱地址 还有你的密码. The first time you 登录, you’ll need to accept Google’s terms of service and complete a captcha. Be sure to check your Oxy email regularly, as all official College communication will be sent there.
Get Connected to Campus Wifi
The main campus wifi network is called "Occidental." The first time you connect to wireless you'll need to 登录. 电脑 and phones will usually prompt you to 登录. If your device doesn't or cannot prompt you via a browser (smart home devices, some gaming systems, 等.) you can register it using the MAC address on the "oNet" network.

Please do not attempt to add your own wireless access point or router. They interfere with our own network equipment, disrupting internet access for others. If we determine that there is such a device plugged in we will turn off network access in that location until we receive conformation that the device is no longer plugged into our network.
