Anti-Virus Requirement

Staff, Faculty, and Students are required to have anti-virus installed and up-to-date on any personally-owned computer used to access the MACU network.
Students are ultimately responsible for the installation and upkeep of their chosen anti-virus. However, MACU OIT is available to deal with issues relating to anti-virus programs.
