Students

Your Clark Account is the starting point for all services at Clark. It authenticates that you are who you say you are, allows access to the Clark network, and verifies what resources you have permission to use.

To begin using your account, you will need your account details. You can access these details through your admissions platform (Slate). If you need help locating your information, contact your admissions advisor.

Once you’ve located those, you can activate your account, and get started!

As an incoming student, you may be looking to purchase a new computer. Before making a purchase, consider the requirements of your program and courses. Certain programs may have graphics-intensive assignments, while others require typing papers and making spreadsheets.

ITS recommends certain specifications when buying new personal computers. Recommendations and information about laptops and desktops, including vendor suggestions, are available on our purchasing page.

Several common software titles are available to you at no cost. This includes Office 365, anti-virus, and other academic-related applications. Additional titles, including graphic design and data analytics apps, are available at discounted rates. For a full list of available titles, see our software page.
