NOTES:
- The device registration pages cannot be accessed by using a non-FSU network.
- Gaming systems may be registered to use the wired Residence Hall network (Ethernet) only, and are not supported on the wireless networks (FSUSecure or FSUGuest).
- Employee devices registered on camreg will not work in the residence halls. Student devices registered on resreg will not work outside of the residence halls.
- The same device cannot be registered at both resreg.its.fsu.edu and camreg.its.fsu.edu.
- Device registrations are valid until the end of each summer semester. Registrations will be deleted between the summer and fall semesters and must be renewed every year.
