With your campus ID, you can gain access to the three general purpose labs where over 300 Macintosh and IBM-compatible PCs are available. Most labs are found in departments and are used for students taking that department s courses. There is also a lab in each residence hall area. Since these labs are largely funded by a special technology fee, there are no additional costs except for laser printing. It depends on which lab you go to and when you go.
Peak times are afternoons.
During your first few days on campus, you will sign up for personal access. This will get you an email account, space to create your own home page, access to the modem pool, and a listing in the Illinois State University electronic phonebook. Illinois State maintains its own modem pool for dial-in connections. Your computer will need a CD-ROM drive. You will need to provide your own Ethernet Card and patch cable.
