Computing Facilities


Introduction

The Commerce and Economics computing facilities are located on the first floor of the Napier building and in the basement of Security House (233 North Terrace). They are managed by a joint committee of the Schools of Commerce and Economics but day to day operation and support is managed by the University's Information Technology Services (ITS). The facilities are provided for the use of students currently enrolled in subjects taught by the Schools of Commerce and Economics to enable these students to complete the requirements of their coursework for these subjects.

All the computers in the student laboratories are pentium PCs with at least 256 Mb RAM running Windows XP and connected to the University network. Students can use the facilities once they have logged in to the University network using their individual username and password combination.
