In the corporate world, an employee is provided with a secured, hardened, and tailored computer to increase efficiency and resilience. However, as a student, you are responsible for your own computer and digital information.
When onboarding a university or other higher education institutions, you will probably spend most of your time in the proximity of campus, mingling with fellow students, faculty members, and other employees for years to come. Earning a degree usually takes 3-5 years, and sometimes even longer.
To get the most out of your time at a university or school, having the right tools is important for everyone. In the new era of the digital world, having a productivity tool like a laptop or tablet that is functioning properly is crucial. A stable platform is important for maximizing your productivity and preventing loss of your data e.g., to ransomware, unexpected data loss, or other anomalies.
Some students find it challenging to manage the onboarding of their devices to the universities network.
Example of frequently asked questions from students who install Office 365 on their own devices:
