Sign Up For Help From Your RTA

      The DirectConnect Program connects residents via an 'always on' Ethernet connection to the UM campus network from select University-owned housing facilities operated by the Residence Life Office. In addition to being faster and cheaper, DirectConnect is unique for allowing residents greater access to campus resources such as the Mansfield library or other campus servers.

     The Residence Life DirectConnect Program employs Resident Technology Assistants (RTAs) in each area who are fellow residents.  The primary role of an RTA is to help fellow residents connect to the campus network as well as assist with other technology issues.

     Regardless of your course of study at The University of Montana, access via DirectConnect offers connectivity to tremendous computing resources both on Campus and the Internet to enhance your educational opportunities and college experience.
