  1. An active My.LaSalle (MLS) account
  2. A PC or laptop connected to the DLSU Network

    To check if your PC or laptop is already connected to the domain, go to Startand click Control Panel. In the Control Panel window, double click System. The System window will be displayed. The domain name should say dlsu.edu.ph.

Important reminders:

  1. For security purposes, it is strongly recommended that you log off your computer after use.
  2. The maximum storage size of a personal network folder is 50MB for faculty, and 4MB for students.
  3. Please remember that the server is a shared University resource. Use this facility prudently.
