Computer Security
Computers and the Internet provide many benefits but one big downside is that computers and laptops can easily become targets for viruses and malicious software. These intrusive programs may want to steal your personal information, use your computer to attack other systems, or cause damage to your system. There are several ways you can ensure that you and your computer are protected.
Printing, Scanning and Photocopying
You can access printing in the computer lab and scanning and photocopying at our front desk. Just ask reception or a Student Support Worker if you need help.
