The Office of Information Technology (IT) oversees the maintenance of college owned computers and printers. Computer labs are available in the Holden Center, Lincoln Library, and Garfield Center. Rooms in the Residence Halls are equipped with a wireless access point and two ethernet ports. Any attempt to remove an access point from the wall is prohibited. Students who damage an access point may be fined for any damages. Residences off of the main campus (Founders) are exclusively wireless. Printers are available in all labs: black and white prints are .03 per page, and the color is .30 per page. At the beginning of every semester, students are given $7.50 in printing funds.
