Bates students now must have the Cisco Clean Access Agent (CCAA) software in order to access the Bates network - wired or wireless.

To successfully register your computer, you'll need 3 things:

  1. Current anti-virus software (Sophos, Norton or McAfee) installed and up-to-date.
  2. A current operating system with patches and updates installed.
  3. Windows Automatic Updates configured to: "Automatically download recommended updates for your computer and install them."

If these requirements are not satisfied, you will not be able to access the Bates network.


The complete version of Sophos Anti-Virus is available free to all Bates students, staff and faculty. Just click the Windows or Macintosh icon below.
(Windows - Macintosh)


Additional information about connecting to the network and more can be found by contacting Help Desk Services. The Help Desk may also be reached via AIM at bateshelpdsk1855.
