If you are a Linacre member, or are staying in Linacre accomodation you can register for wired Ethernet access in your room or in the College Library.  

If you are staying in Linacre accommodation, you will have signed a form that includes an agreement to comply with the terms of use. To get online you just need to email support@linacre.ox.ac.uk giving your Ethernet MAC address, and confirming the following:

* You have passwords set for all user accounts on your computer
* Your Operating System is properly licenced and you keep it up-to-date with security patches.
* You are running a current and up-to-date anti-virus package if using Windows.
* You have read and understand the University and College regulations for network usage.

Also let us know your intended leaving date so you can be registered accordingly.

No devices other than PCs/laptops are allowed connection to the Linacre network without written authorisation from the IT Manager.

Alternatively you can visit the IT Office at the top of the OC Tanner building.

If you are not staying in Linacre accommodation,  you also need to given written confirmation (email is fine) that you have passwords set for all accounts on the computer, keep up-to-date with Operating System updates(Windows Update etc) and are running current anti-virus software if running Windows.  Also that you agree to be bound by the University regulations.

Contact support@linacre.ox.ac.uk if you have any queries.  Forms can be scanned and emailed or dropped at Reception or the IT Office.

Linacre provides the University wireless network services throughout all Linacre sites and accommodation.

The Eduroam service can also be used at participating establishments globally.  Details of how to set it up can be found here.

The OWL network can be used with the Cisco VPN client. Details can be found here.

Remember that the usual University rules apply when using wireless. Ensure p2p and other unauthorised applications are removed or disabled before connecting.  

Contact support@linacre.ox.ac.uk if you are unsure.

Instructions can be found here in the client setup section.

All University accounts are linked to your card expiry date. When your card expires, access will stop automatically to Nexus email, Single Sign On, Remote Access etc.

Because Linacre integrates with University accounts wherever possible, this means you will also no longer be able to access Library computers or OWL/eduroam wireless services.

We will gladly provide you with extended access, but you must request it from support@linacre.ox.ac.uk

We can reinstate access to your Library login by having you set a local password at one of the IT Support Sessions and wireless access for up to 2 weeks at a time by creating you a guest account. 

The IT Services pages on when you leave are here.

Printing Charges

Printing is available from Library computers and is charged at the following rates:

• 5p for an A4 black and white or colour sheet

Printing costs are billed to battels. They do incur VAT which is a purchase tax imposed by the UK government and not something the College has a choice about charging. Students who are in arrears and have had their Linacre card withdrawn will also be barred from printing.

Printing from your own computer

You can now print from your own computer to several of the College printers. We use a system called Papercut and you submit prints via a webpage. The system supports Single-Sign-On, once logged in users can choose the Web Print option and choose Submit a Job in order to print. 

The PaperCut system can be accessed here. If you need assistance with Web Print or any of its features please contact support@linacre.ox.ac.uk(link sends e-mail).

Due to Covid19 the college is only allowing use of library computers once you have booked a space. If you have your SSO active you can sign in here to the booking system. There are computers in the library, OC Tanner study area, and Abraham study areas which can be used without booking but only to use to scan or print. These computers cannot be used for long periods of time. 

Login with your SSO. If you can't login, please contact support@linacre.ox.ac.uk

You can print to the College printers once logged in and will be charged on Battels at the end of that month.
