Equipped with the latest in
hardware and software, the College Computer Center, among a
few of its kind in Cyprus, aims to support the needs of the
teaching, research and administrative functions of the
College. The Center’s goal is to deliver dependable, high
quality integrated technology facilities and services in
support of our students, faculty and administration staff. The
achievement of this mission results in integrated technology services
that enhance both the quality and reliability of the students'
educational experience. Recognizing the significance of
keeping up with the technological advances in this field, the Center vows to continue to lead the way by investing heavily
in computing facilities, arming its students with a solid
academic and scientific background.
Every computer is connected to the Internet through the
College’s reliable, high–speed connection. Network
infrastructure is supported by Cisco routers and D-Link
switches and powered by latest Windows and Unix server
platforms which also allow for remote users VPN access to
campus network. Special purpose servers run antivirus and
content filtering features in order to protect campus network
from malicious intent users and software. All critical systems
are fully redundant so students, faculty and
staff members are provided with a safe and a stable computing
environment.
The Computer Center maintains several
computer laboratories and a computer Help Desk which is
available to assist students, faculty and administration
staff. Every computer found in our computer laboratories
provides access to an extensive portfolio of widely used
commercial application software, as well as programming
languages. All computer laboratories are equipped with a
heavy-duty laser printer and some of the computer
laboratories are equipped for video projection. Most
computer laboratories are free from classes and they are
available exclusively to the students carrying out their
assignments, practicing, researching or for exploring the
Internet. Those computer laboratories used for teaching are
also available to the students when they are free from
classes.
Being able to communicate all over the
world is vital, given the ever changing world in which we
live. The college positively encourages communication by
computer and students find that electronic mail is an
efficient way of communicating with other students and staff.
The Computer Center provides uninterrupted access to the
abundance of information available via the Internet. The
College has its own web pages which can be found at
www.ac.ac.cy
Many of the College’s procedures such as the admission
process, registration of students in courses, issue of student
grade reports and issue of transcripts are fully computerized.
The Center provides to all administration and faculty staff
communication through electronic mail and access to the
internet. |
