Campus Computer Facilities

Our computer facilities are first-rate. The department has two laboratories with current generation computers systems and computational resources. Computer systems are equipped with high-resolution color monitors and CD-ROM drives, and they are connected to the campus computing facilities and the Internet by way of a DS3 connection. More computer systems are accessible in five laboratories at other campus locations. Software for symbolic computer algebra, statistical analysis, word processing, spreadsheets and a variety of other productivity and analysis tools are available on all computer systems in our laboratories.

Kemper Computer Center provides mainframe resources for faculty and students at all locations via the campus network. Software support includes several languages as well as tools for data analysis, database storage and text editing.

At Ripon, computer systems are available to students free of charge from early morning to late evening. Students may do their own personal projects as well as class-assigned work on the computer systems. Staff members are on hand to provide programming and technical assistance.

All campus residence halls are directly connected to the campus network and the Internet. Students need only purchase an appropriate network interface card for their computer.
