The School has two clusters of computers available for undergraduate use. These are in the 2nd floor laboratory and The Hive, which is on the 1st floor. These may be used any time the laboratory and The Hive are open except when required for a teaching course or other event.
Games and non-academic use of the network are not permitted. Students using the computers for work or physics courses have priority.
Student PC's for general use are also located in the following areas, among others:
College Library (Ground and 103)
Monday to Friday 09.00 - 23.45, Saturday 10.00 - 15.45, Sunday 13.00 - 18.45

You will be given a user account and e-mail address to access the College student network when you first register at the College. All official communication will be sent to your College e-mail address. You are required to read your e-mail at least once per week. During the induction period before teaching begins for the first semester there will be a lecture on the details of the computer provision and use followed by a hands-on practice session. Amongst other things this will teach basic use of Microsoft applications and the location of other useful applications, such as LaTex, Maple and Mathematica. Mr Peter Crew should be informed of any failures with the computer clusters and printers located within the Physics Building. Students are normally charged for printing on the College network but those doing physics projects may have their reports printed by Peter Crew. For security reasons student accounts may be frozen during the summer vacation.
