In order to fully integrate your laptop into the University's network, your college may require you to join your computer to Villanova's Active Directory system (VUAD).  By joining, you will gain access to several academic applications and University resources that aid you in completing your coursework.  Not all colleges currently require you to join your laptop to Active Directory in order to complete your course curriculum.  Choose your college from the list on the right to check and see if you need to join your laptop to VUAD.
