Getting Connected

This section contains information on preparing your computer for connection, using the Site-Wide WiFi Network or a network cable and registering your devices.

Before getting connected, you should check the Rules for IT Facilities and make sure that your computer meets the minimum requirements for connection to the Somerville network.

Once you have your Somerville (SOME2K) account details you will need to change your password, this can be done from any public computer in College, such as the Library terminals or via this link.

Once you have changed your password you may then connect your computer to the College wireless network or with an Ethernet (CAT5) cable to the sockets in your room or the Library.

The first time you connect to the Somerville network at the start of each term you will be asked to register your computer using the self-registration system, you may register upto 5 devices for use within the College, including mobile devices or console devices.  Your devices will be un-registered at the end of each term.

Please visit the University Welcome to IT @ Oxford website for general information on IT in Oxford.
