Device Access

We know that not all students have access to a computer, and we want to get all available laptops checked out to as many students as possible. ITS has a number of laptops and mobile hotspots or 'jetpacks' available for student check out, and encourages students to apply if they are in need of a loaner to complete coursework.

Internet Access

If a student is not feeling well and does not have internet connectivity at their primary residence, they are encouraged to communicate with their instructor to determine options and flexibility. Do Space, located at 72nd and Dodge, also offers free wifi in the parking lot 8am-8pm.

Maximizing Home Internet

Home internet services have a set capacity. Think of it like water: if someone in the residence turns on the shower and someone else starts a load of laundry at the same time, the amount of water output at the kitchen faucet will likely be reduced. To maximize your connectivity, reduce the amount of devices connected to the internet at one time (i.e. streaming services, printers, phones, additional devices).

Additional Considerations

If you decide to utilize free local wifi hotspots, please follow best practices from local health authorities and take precautions to protect your and your community's health and safety. Some local internet service providers are offering significant discounted services to students:
