Technology Resources

The College of Saint Rose offers a variety of computer lab resources for student use. Some of the labs are dedicated as open labs, and several of them are open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. There are also several specialized computer labs including Education, Mathematics, Music, Graphic Design, Public Communications, and Physics. Additionally, there are nineteen classroom computer labs and most other classrooms are smart classrooms which feature an instructor’s computer workstation with multimedia capabilities and video projection equipment. Computer labs offer a variety of current software including Microsoft Office Pro, SPSS, Maple, and curriculum-specific programs. Most computer labs on campus have laser printers or multi-function devices for student use. Students get a quota of free prints each semester with additional prints costing a fee. The Neil Hellman Library has numerous computers located throughout the building for student use.

The College has implemented a wireless network that provides access throughout the campus. Students who need to access the wireless network with their own notebook computers, smart phones or other devices have to register their device on the network. Students who need assistance with this should bring their equipment to the Help Desk in Saint Joseph Hall for configuration. The Neil Hellman Library has wireless notebook computers that students can sign out for use in the library.

All computers on campus are connected to the campus network and have full access to the Internet. The College also supports the Canvas learning management system which allows students to have access to course-related materials accessible from any web browser on or off campus. All students are given an account that gives them access to computers, e-mail and the Canvas system. Students must abide by the College’s Acceptable Use Policy and Copyright Policy when using any technology resources.

All students are provided with a Saint Rose account that includes e-mail, productivity tools and online file storage. Students can continue to use their email account after they graduate.
