The first time you access the internet after configuring your laptop for wireless, the Shepherd University Network Security page will display. If the Shepherd University Network Security page does display, type in registration.shepherd.edu/registration in the address bar. Read the page and follow the directions. Once you have followed the directions on that page, you will be able to access the internet.
