Web Pages and
Network Space
Each MSU student is allocated central storage space called AFS
space. AFS space offers users an easily accessible place to store
data files that may be needed in a variety of locations. We highly
recommend its use as a back up for important data files such as
term papers or dissertations. Additional, this space can be used
for a personal web page. More information is available here. Contact MSU's ACNS Help Desk for help with AFS space.
Student Distributed Printing (Law College Network Only)
The Law College is running a trial of a new Student Distributed
Printing system within the Law College network. This system is
only accessable from within the Law College Building, and only
available when your laptop is connected to the Law College network
via our internal wired and wireless network connections. Detailed
information regarding the system, including software installation
instructions and detailed documentation can be found at the Student
Distributed Printing home page: http://studentprint.law.msu.edu/ippdocs/StudentPrint.htm
