Direction of
the Lerner College of B&E |
As noted above in the recommended computing
configurations, the basic software used in the Lerner College is MS
Office 2007 Professional (starting Fall 2007). The majority of software and
applications used in Lerner College classes, other than Office
2007 Professional, will be available through the Lerner College network. As a student, you will have significantly more
convenient access to all computing resources from your own
computer. Computing labs are configured to support teaching and software demonstration
and will only be available for general computing when not
scheduled for classes. You will find open access to e-mail
stations in student lounges and commons areas, as well as
wireless hubs to facilitate network access from laptops.
