Campus Technology
Stevenson University is committed to providing all active students, faculty, and staff with secure and reliable technology and network infrastructure. The Office of Information Technology (OIT) is responsible for many of the technologies across all campus locations. This includes the computer labs, classrooms, residence halls, faculty and staff offices, and administrative areas.
OIT operates two data centers, one on each campus, to achieve a high level of availability and performance. Both campuses have hard-wired and wireless networks with many classrooms and residence halls connected at gigabit speeds. Our dedicated digital connection to the Internet is rated at 3000 Mbps and provides fast and reliable access shared among the Stevenson community.
Among the dedicated computer labs on campus, several labs are open for general use at varying times. These labs offer Mac and PC computers with the latest software needed for academic work.
Computer Logins
Each student, faculty, and staff member must have an individual SU Single Sign-On account to use the computer equipment and network resources. All users must have read and electronically signed the Information Technology Acceptable Use Agreement before using their account. The complete agreement can be found on the SU Portal and the university's Consumer Information page. Students, faculty and staff should never share their ID or password with anyone, including the members of Tech Connection or OIT. All account holders will be held responsible for all activity conducted under their login.
Access to Technology Services
Stevenson University offers the capability for students, faculty, and staff to connect to various services on the University’s network from off-campus via the Web. This access includes, but is not limited to, Blackboard, Email, Microsoft Office 365 programs, and Self-Service.
Personal Device Support
OIT support for personal devices is limited to basic troubleshooting to access Stevenson University’s services, network, and systems. For troubleshooting or repairs to devices not owned by Stevenson University, it is highly recommended that all students, faculty, and staff maintain service plans through the manufacturer/vendor. Tech Connection staff can only provide limited support for these types of issues. While OIT offers general assistance to resolve any software issues, staff will not install software on personal devices.
