BJU Network and Proxy

If you have any questions regarding the filtering system at BJU, please click here for more information. Internet accountability will be tracked to the owner of the device, so please use discretion when loaning your device to a friend. Do not let any device out of your sight while another student is using it, and be sure to password protect all devices with a lock screen.

What happens if I sell my device to another person on campus?

You must contact Technology Resources to let them know that you are selling your device. Technology Resources will de-register the device so that you will no longer be associated with the internet activity on the device.

I couldn’t get the instructions to work!

For support, visit Technology Resources (AL 207).

Campus Wired

Students may also connect to the internet through an ethernet cable where ports are available.

Anti-Virus Protection

The University requires that all computers have anti-virus protection. All students with a Windows computer must have a reputable anti-virus on their computer. Mac users are strongly encouraged to install a security suite as well. Some acceptable free anti-virus programs include Windows Defender (pre-installed on Windows 8 & 10), Microsoft Security Essentials, AVAST!, and AVG. Students are to make certain that the anti-virus software is able to work through the BJU proxy. Technology Resources is able to assist with this configuration. Computers that do not meet this qualification will have their internet disabled until the program is installed and the definitions are current. There is a grace period so that the student may take measures to install one.

Computer Updates

Please make sure that your operating system is receiving updates regularly. If you have a Windows machine, this would be your Windows Updates. Mac and Linux users are also required to enable these updates as well. Not enabling operating system updates will result in the internet access being disabled.
