If you are a full-time, please bring your own PC for the classes. For part-time, laptop PC are available for rent at ICT Faculty Support Desk (1st floor of Building #2).

For those who are assigned a private office at Yotsuya / Mejiro campus

When connecting to the campus network in a private office

The teacher’s private office has an information outlet for wired LAN, but application and settings are required in advance. Please see here for details.

Be sure to install security software on the computer connected to the campus network. ICT Office provides Trend Micro’s VirusBuster free of charge. (Click here for information on using it).

There are many requests regarding the installation of wireless LAN routers in the private office, but as a general rule, ICT Office does not set up devices in private offices. Please operate under your own management responsibility based on the following explanation.

  • We recommend that you connect the router directly from the information outlet on the wall to build a private network. At that time, be sure to make appropriate security so that it will not be intercepted from the outside. Avoid WEP authentication and at least WPA2-PSK(AES) or MAC address authentication.
  • Installing a router in a common room and writing and pasting the password on paper is a very dangerous act. In some cases, we may suspend the use of your Sophia ICT account, so please do not do so.

The campus network is shared by our faculty, staff, and students, so please give due consideration to security.

When installing a PC, printer, or purchasing new equipment

You are responsible for setting up your own PC and migrating data. Thank you for your cooperation.

Also, please note that it is not always possible to guarantee the same computer environment as the previous workplace / university. (Example: Certain software that was used at the predecessor university is not installed / does not work at this university)

The supported OS for ICT Office is Windows, Mac OS, Android, and iOS. Both are limited to versions within the support period. Please note that if you are using an OS other than the above, we may not be able to provide sufficient support.
