Information Technology Services
Information Technology Services (ITS) provides a wide range of services for students and employees. The robust campus network provides local area network and Internet access for approximately 2,400 ResNet (student residential network) connections and approximately 3,400 academic/administrative connections for classrooms, teaching/student laboratories and computer labs, Reed Library, and offices. The robust wireless network provides access in all campus buildings and includes some outdoor spaces. Collaboration and learning management tools are provided via Google Apps for Education and the ANGEL Learning Management System, and personal working/storage server space is available. "Your Connection" is the secure web interface providing student access to financial aid and billing information, course search and registration for classes, final grades, and information on how to access e-mail and ANGEL services.
Students are encouraged to purchase laptops and are required to maintain anti-virus protection on all devices logged into the campus network. Anti-virus software is licensed for enrolled students and available for download from the "Your Connection" interface. Recommended laptop specifications are available at http://www.fredonia.edu/its/Computer. Recommendations regarding anti-virus software are available at http://www.fredonia.edu/helpdesk/Virus.
Even though the majority of students bring their personal desktop or laptop to campus, students continue to utilize three general-purpose open computer labs in Reed Library, G22 McEwen Hall, and in the Media Center located at W203 Thompson Hall. In addition to general purpose labs, ITS supports a number of computer teaching labs that are utilized primarily for classroom instruction and then open for general use when classes are not in session. Interested persons should refer to http://home.fredonia.edu/its/labs for a complete listing of computer labs, equipment, and software.
Printing is available in all labs, including wirelessly in Reed Library and the Thompson Hall Media Center, with 600 single-page prints provided to each student per semester. Additional information about the print quota is available at https://home.fredonia.edu/its/printing-quota.
