Internet Access
Information: There are several ways to request access to the Internet.
1. In a message sent by email to the address rendszergazda.kinizsi@uni-corvinus.hu. The email must include the student’s name, room number and the computer’s ETHERNET MAC address (physical address).
2. Through the registration form on the Internet.
3. Through a registration form to be requested at the Reception, which you can complete and simply return to and leave with the Reception (it is no good when students contact the system administrator one by one merely for that reason)
After your request for it, you will be provided access to the Internet within 3 working days. As the system administrator has multiple tasks, it cannot be ensured that he/she can perform the registration immediately after your request.
If you have any further questions or requests on the Internet, please write to the address rendszergazda.kinizsi@uni-corvinus.hu or contact us in person: Viktor Szeker senior helper – L113

It is important to understand that, contrary to all rumours, there is no lower limit for violations of regulations, i.e. there is no lower limit (for uploading, downloading, daily, weekly, etc.) below which violations of regulations are allowed. Thus e.g. sharing or downloading such content that violates any regulations, laws, or copyright, or harms the reputation of the University is not allowed even to the slightest extent and may result in disciplinary consequences! Of course, not even the Dormitory or its system administrator can grant an exemption from this!
