Student Laptop Computers on Campus

Required by program - Full access
Students who purchase computers from MTI for use in their programs will have full use of the campus network services. This includes the Internet and storage/work folders on MTI host servers. The laptops are loaded, distributed and supported by the MTI Information Technology Office.

Not required by program - Full access
Students enrolled in programs that do not require laptops but would like access to the full range of network services with their own personal laptop are able to do so if the Institutes requirements for network access are met.

These requirements are as follows:

The computer must be running a minimum of Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 with all of the current updates.

The computer must also have up to date virus protection.

The computer will be renamed by campus IT office for identification on the network. MTI will also be able to support VISTA Business or VISTA Ultimate.

Not required by program - Limited access
Students who own computers which do not meet the Windows XP Pro requirement can still use their personal computers to access the Internet through any one of several WiFi hotspots established on MTI campuses. (Internet Access only).

Current hotspots are located at the Main campus in the commons area and the Instructional Services Center.

There is also a hotspot located in the commons and foyer area at the Technology Center Campus.

The MTI acceptable computer use policy applies to all lap top computers used on the MTI network. To preview the MTI acceptable computer use policy, please access the MTI student handbook (pages 43 - 51 PDF version).
