C+TS supports the operation of over 10 computer labs and pods on campus that are available for student, staff and program use. There are also several locations on campus that provide laptops connections to the campus network and beyond. C+TS also supports the operation of a wireless network on campus.
Printing is available in many of the computer labs using your Network Access Account (NA2). Each account is pre-loaded with print credits that will allow for a reasonable number of black + white prints. Colour printing is available through the IOLAB.
We offer free Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the building for students. This service will allow you to connect to local college resources and the internet. At speeds up to and beyond 108mb/s* you won't be able to tell if it's wired or wireless!
Please note: It is currently unsecured, but will require a network access account (NA2) in the future. If you do not know your NA2 information, we strongly encourage you to contact the helpdesk.
