Academic computing centers have been established on all three campuses to serve the computing needs of students. The Ammerman Campus Academic Computing Center, located on the lower level of the Huntington Library, provides a convenient location where students can enhance computer skills using PC and Macintosh computers based on their individual needs and desires. Similar labs are in operation in the Orient Building on the Eastern Campus and the Sagtikos and Health, Sports and Education Buildings on the Grant Campus. In addition to providing an avenue for computer literacy, the labs are centers for word processing, programming and computer-assisted instruction. Faculty may schedule class meetings in these facilities and/or make class assignments for independent work. In addition, portable computer and computer projection units are available to faculty. Additional computers are available to students in the Writing Center on the Ammerman Campus and the Academic Skills Centers on the Eastern and Grant campuses.
