There are a number of places to find a computer or printer on campus. Learning Technologies Computing Labs are located in three campus buildings. By logging into this system, students can have email accounts, run large programs, access statistics and database applications, and use Internet tools. For more on using Laurel and Hardy, see Shortbits . In addition, departments may operate computing facilities which are open to students in their classes and several specialized facilities are found elsewhere on campus.
Many students decide to purchase a computer for their own use.
However, it should be made clear that EMU does not require students to own a computer. All required class work can be completed using computing resources that are available to every student. For those interested in owning their own system, the Learning Technologies Computer Store can assist students in purchasing computers at low academic prices. Even students who own their own computers may use Computing Labs to access some resources, such as course software or high speed laser printers. A special purpose lab focusing on graphics, sound, and video applications is located in the Multimedia Commons at Halle.
