Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Being nestled in the mountains as it is, you wouldn’t really think of NAU as a tech-savvy destination. Contrary to popular belief, Louie the Lumberjack is a big technology guy. NAU is changing, and its computer situation reflects that immensely. There are many labs on campus, but bringing one of your own will definitely make things easier—the Cline Library computers are always very packed, and finishing a paper in the early hours of the morning can become a real pain if you have to trek to one of the 24-hour labs. The wireless network is located in most of the academic buildings and in the University Union. The Ethernet network in the residence halls is very fast, but be prepared to jump through a ton of hoops to be able to log on. The folks over at ResNet, the on-campus computing department, can be very unreliable when it comes to troubleshooting.

If you’re a big fan of downloading music, though, get it all in while you can now. The University prevents any kind of file sharing through the use of P2P programs with a nearly impenetrable firewall. Be careful about breaking any of the rules, too, as ResNet is pretty strict about catching people. One cool thing about the residence hall networks is that if you’re a user of iTunes, the program allows you to see other iTunes users on the network and access their music files. All in all, the computer situation at NAU is pretty impressive.

NAU and Technology

NAU has a very good technology grade from me because it is all very helpful. There isn't a need for a personal computer, the library is opened at 7 am and closes at 2 am. Printing is very cheap and you can put money on your i.d. to use as printing money. The computer labs are always helpful and can really help bring your grade up. The network reliability and speed and access are A + because they are fast and reliable. I really enjoy the network and availability of printers and computers at NAU.

Did You Know?

There are computers set up for students to access their LOUIE accounts in many of the buildings on campus.

NAU was one of ten schools nationwide to receive the Hewlett Packard Technology for Teaching Leadership grant, which included several HP Tablet PCs, docking stations, digital cameras, printers, and digital projectors.

The snowy peaks at Snowbowl too tempting to pass up? Going to class becoming a chore? No problem. NAU offers several classes online and on TV through the on-campus cable network. Students can even study from all parts of the world through NAU Distance Learning. Ha! And they said going to class was important!
