ITS Website
www.trevecca.edu/its is provided for students to gain assistance with many technology related items such as:
Voicemail/Telephone
Resident students receive a voicemail number upon check-in at the dorms. In addition, all dorm rooms contain a telephone equipped with a voicemail "message waiting" light. The University provides local telephone service only and all local calls are free.
Cable TV
Each dorm room is equipped with a cable TV connection. Cable TV is provided by Comcast with a limited number of channels available. No premium channels are provided and students do not have the ability to order or change their service. Televisions with cable connections are also available across campus in public areas and classrooms. The University runs programming on two cable channels on campus for events and announcements. These channels are only viewable on campus connected televisions.
Network and E-mail accounts
- Each fully registered student is assigned a unique network account which allows the student to logon to any lab computer and use the applications available on those PCs to assist in their education.
- A TNU e-mail account is also set up for each student and there are several methods for students to retrieve their e-mail which include auto forwarding to a personal mail account such as Yahoo or Gmail, using POP3, or via OWA (Outlook Web Access) which is internet based and allows access to TNU e-mail from any working internet connection.
M-Drives
Each student is given 225MB of disk space on one of two file servers in order to save their files(Word, Excel, Photos, Video, etc...). These files are backed up each night and if a student loses a file, ITS has the ability to recover the most current saved version of the file saved to their "M-Drive".
Campus Manager
This is technology used to provide all students and employees with a campus network that is protected from unauthorized users and which operates at the highest possible level of performance. Specifically, all computers using our network will be scanned by Campus Manager to ensure they are healthy and can be granted network access.
