OVERVIEW
Information technology (IT) is transforming college life by enabling the delivery of “anywhere ± anytime” individualized education. The IT Department provides services that support campus-based teaching, learning, and research by way of technology-enhanced classrooms, computer labs, high-speed networks (wired and wireless), and technical support. The IT Department also creates LCSC’s online campus by implementing products such as LCMail (student e-mail), Blackboard (online courses), interactive video (real-time distance courses), and WarriorWeb (online course registration).

OPEN COMPUTER LABS
Students have access to two open computer labs in Lewiston and one lab in Coeur d’Alene. In Lewiston the labs are located in the Library (LIB) room 172, and the Student Union Building (SUB) room 202. In Coeur d’Alene the lab is in 610 W. Hubbard, suite 107.

STUDENT NETWORK/PHONE ACCESS
Students are provided high-bandwidth access to the Internet. Key elements of this access include:

WIRELESS NETWORK ACCESS
A wireless network is available to access the internet inside most major campus buildings, and outdoors in the Centennial Mall. Students can use their own laptops or checkout wireless laptops at the SUB Information Desk.

RESIDENCE HALL NETWORK ACCESS
Every residence hall room is equipped with a high-speed internet port for each student living in the suite. Contact the Help desk to solve problems connecting to the campus network (see following section on Help Desk).

OTHER NETWORK ACCESS
Internet access is also available from various locations on campus including kiosk systems located at various sites, and from all student computer labs. In addition, students who own laptops without wireless capability are able to connect to wired internet ports in the SUB and Library.

RESIDENCE HALL TELEPHONE ACCESS
Local phone service is provided to all students living in residence halls for no additional charge. Students are required to provide their own telephone, and a calling card for any long distance needs. Telephone jacks in residence halls are continuously activated, so students have immediate phone access.

There are three ways to reach the IT Help Desk:
1. Via e-mail at helpdesk@lcsc.edu
2. By phone at (208) 792-2231
3. In person at Sam Glenn Complex room 112.

LCMAIL
LCMail is the College’s official means of communication. Faculty and staff will use LCMail to send information electronically to students. A username and password for LCMail is provided when a new student first registers for classes. This username will remain the same during all subsequent enrollment at LCSC, and can be retained for personal use as an LCSC alumnus or alumnae. Because LCMail resides on the web, students can read their e-mail from anywhere on earth that has an internet connection. Access LCMail via http://lcmail.lcsc.edu

WARRIORWEB
WarriorWeb provides online access to LCSC course information as well as students’ academic history. Students are assigned a secure WarriorWeb username and password upon submitting an application to the college. From this point forward they can use WarriorWeb to register for classes, print a schedule for the current term, print financial aid award letters, check grades, view academic transcripts, and much more. Like LCMail, WarriorWeb can be reached from anywhere that has internet connection. Access WarriorWeb from the college’s homepage at www.lcsc.edu or directly at http://warriorweb.lcsc.edu.
