Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students and professors regularly use the network as a means of communication. Students have access to a program called eCollege, which allows them to supplement the classroom experience with discussions online, or turn in assignments via the Internet, rather than print them out. This service also provides students with an online gradebook that keeps track of their progress. There are numerous computer labs on campus, though they sometimes fill up completely.

Aside from the occasional technical lapses, the TCU network is fairly reliable and consistent. The Computer Help Desk offers a wide variety of services and tech support. The network occasionally shuts down, but not frequently, and usually only for a few hours at a time. The Computer Help Desk is a good resource for students to utilize when things go wrong, and when it comes to computers, things often do.

Computers at Texas Christian University

Availability of Computers at All Times

At Texas Christian University, most classes allow the use of laptops to take notes; and some even require the use of one either for projects involving power points and other programs, researching, online surveys, etc. TCU does not require you to own a laptop (though most people do), and if you don't the library has many for students to use, and there always seems to be enough. You do not need to own a printer in your dorm room because you are allowed 200 free prints from the library, and after that is used up, you can use your student ID to swipe and pay for prints which are very cheap (around 25 cents). The Network availability on campus works very well, except sometimes the network can be slow on random days every once in a while.

Always Available

There are an abundant amount of computer labs at Texas Christian University, so finding a computer should not be a problem. At TCU, there are both Macs and PCs available. Printing can be an issue because you are only allowed 200 free prints.
