Undergraduate Technology@McCombs 

Welcome to the Technology portion of Orientation. Technology is an important part of the learning environment at McCombs. The college has a sophisticated network and provides students with valuable resources, such as 24-hour computer labs, McCombs email accounts, and wireless internet access throughout our buildings.  This site contains three modules that will introduce you to various technology resources available to you.

Are you an Internal Transfer student?  Internal Transfer students (those transferring from another UT Austin college, or those changing their majors from non-business to business) will be required to complete an on-line technology session between August 23rd and September 12th. You will receive an e-mail with details about how to access this training a week before the fall semester begins. You should not go through these modules at this time.

Take these steps before you begin the modules.

1. You must know your UT EID to begin the modules.  Visit the UT EID Self Service Tools if you have forgotten your UT EID login or password.

2. Get your McCombs Computer Account (or MSB Account).  This account is provided by the McCombs School of Business.  You'll learn more about this account in the modules.

3. Print out the Tech Orientation guide.  It will be helpful to you for keeping notes and using as a future reference tool.

When going through the modules, here are a few things to keep in mind.

1. If you want to hear the spoken voice, you should turn on your computer speakers or plug in earphones.

2. The first time you go through the modules, you must go through it sequentially. After you complete all three modules, you will be able to come back to the modules and use the left navigation to go directly to any page. This is helpful if you want to be reminded about any of the topics covered.

3. At the end of the modules, you will be able to download links to the all the websites discussed in the site. After downloading, read the instructions for adding these bookmarks to your Internet Explorer Favorites or Firefox Bookmarks.
