Please visit our three "open" computer labs - B Atrium, the SAC and D Atrium. These computers allow students to work on course assignments, send and receive email, and use the Internet outside of the regular classroom setting. There is a "lab assistant" available in B Atrium to provide help with the hardware and software. Look for the HELP DESK sign.
Email accounts are available for all students. This service is free to all currently enrolled students at Terra. This system allows access to email from any browser. It is similar to HotMail without the junk mail. You may fill out an AUP form at the Help Desk on the 3rd floor of Building B. Once this is done you may log into your email account. If no one is at the Help Desk then go to B309 to finish your paperwork for your email account. The AUP form is also available online for students to submit.
Terra's Computer Center is located on the third floor of the General Technologies Building (Building B). The main office is B309. Both CIS faculty and Computer Center staff have offices in this area.
The locations of all Terra's computer labs can be found on our website. Check the campus map for building locations.
