The Network

In addition to the main computer lab where students can work on homework or surf the internet, Bethel College has a campus-wide computer network connected in the residence halls.

Using Software

Bethel Computer Services Department will not provide equipment or software support for any computer on which unauthorized software is known to exist. In addition, where there are clear violations, Information Technology will report violations to the appropriate authorities.

Computer & Networking Suggestions for Wireless & Wired purchases:

Wireless Network in ALL Residence Halls on Campus is 802.11b/g

Since the 2004/05 school year, we support only “Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™” cards. We recommend that any new card purchased would support 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g. The 802.11n cards will work in 802.11a,b+G mode but we do not have any 802.11n access points to connect to at this time.

Student Account Expiration

General Computer and e-mail accounts for students will expire 150 days after their last attended class from Bethel College. Your student web account will still be accessible.
