IT FAQ
No. Indiana Tech does not provide a Mac Lab for general student use.
Any computer that has been purchased within the past two years should be sufficient for a student at Indiana Tech. For those majors that use intense graphics such as engineering, you may want to consider a more recent purchase with better graphics processing capabilities. Please reach out to your professors to discuss specific computer requirements for classes.
Yes. All Indiana Tech locations have wireless access readily available. For those who are residential students on the Fort Wayne campus, we have good wireless coverage in the residence halls, buildings, and a good portion of the outdoor spaces as well. One thing to keep in mind is that you are sharing the network with more than a thousand other individuals on campus, so it may not be as fast as your connection at home with only a handful of people connected.
