Information Technology
Information Technology (IT) provides computing and data communication support and services to the academic and administrative segments of the campus. IT provides and maintains many types of software and services to support the school's mission. We continually review, expand and upgrade these services to proactively support the college's evolving computing needs.
Administrative Computing
Services are provided to the entire campus through Ellucians's Banner application
software as well as locally developed systems. These applications are designed, maintained
and implemented in a manner that preserves technological currency in an integrated
environment. This software includes Web services and enables the College to provide
a robust and varied computing interface to the entire community.
Instructional Computing / Helpdesk / Client Support
Services are provided via the development, support and maintenance of Instructional
Computing labs throughout the campus. Several specialized labs equipped with curriculum-related
technology are also available. All students are provided with email and wireless access.
The campus Helpdesk also provides support to the campus community with their computing
needs.
Systems and Operations / Network Technologies
Services are provided and hosted locally, which also includes support for remote cloud
and SAAS environments to best support the various needs of the campus. IT plans, installs
and maintains the network infrastructure for campus-wide data communications and network
security. This includes fiber infrastructure that interconnects buildings on campus
directly to the internet, to wired offices and labs, and also provides wireless access
throughout the campus. We employ several security technologies, such as firewalls,
IDP, web filtering, antivirus, spam filtering and other controls to maintain the integrity
and security of all campus-related data and computing facilities.
Instructional Technologies Support Center (ITSC)
The Instructional Support Center assists faculty in the integrating emerging and existing
technologies into their curriculum through instructional support options ranging from
design and development consultation and training to digital media production and technology-equipped
classroom support.
