Ripon College Information Technology Services (ITS) provides extensive facilities to support the technological needs of students, faculty and staff. Most notable are a very large file server, a Microsoft Exchange Messaging server and a Web server. Students can utilize these servers from locations throughout the campus, including their residence hall rooms. Students are given 100 MB disk capacity on the file server, sufficient to store PowerPoint presentations and other large files. ITS also operates a new hardware/software “Campus System” to support the administrative functions of the College.

A fast-ethernet (100 Mbps) network connects all academic buildings, administrative buildings and student residence hall rooms. This network is directly connected to the Internet via 10 Mbps. Ripon College is a charter member of WiscNet, the non-profit association created to provide Internet
access to non-profit institutions and organizations in Wisconsin.

Open-use computer resource centers are located across the campus. Videoprojection facilities are provided via fixed units in several classrooms and via several portable units which can be scheduled for instructional use by faculty. Scanners are provided at several campus locations.

ITS supports various software suites for classroom instruction, open use labs and students’ academic interests. Technical support for students, faculty and staff and management of the central and open-use facilities is provided by ITS staff and student assistants.
