The main purpose of computer labs is the extension of the classroom environment and learning process, providing information services in a Windows platform. All the computers run the Windows XP Professional operating system and Office 2003 Professional along with several other specific software.

We are now offering wireless accessibility to the Internet throughout our new building. Only an enrolled TWU student, faculty or staff with a valid Pioneer Portal account will have access to this network. Also, the system will check the laptop against minimal requirements related to virus protection, service packs and security patches so that the laptop can be granted access. There are several easy steps to follow in order to gain access. Please click here for the instructions. (We are still in the tuning-up phase for the wireless network. It will take some time for it to be fully deployed.)

Technology Resource Room 4116 is now available to students by reservation in 3-hour block. It's equipped with a PC with photo and video editing software - Photoshop CS2 and Pinnacle Studio 10, a microphone for audio recording, a scanner and a 21" wide-screen monitor for ease of viewing.
