Computer Labs and Clusters
In addition to terminals provided in each residence hall, computer clusters and labs are located in the Library, Learning Resource Center, and in the Higgins Wing of the Activities Building. All computer labs and clusters are equipped with printing capability. See our hardware listing for more information on locations and availability.
Internet Access
Each student may access the Internet from any public workstation on campus. For students with their own personal devices, wireless network services are available in all campus buildings. In addition to wireless network service, wired data ports are also available in each residence hall room. Students must configure each device for network access using the instructions on our SNAP page.
Residence Hall Data Services
Wired and wireless network connections are available in all residence hall rooms allowing students to connect a myriad of devices to the Unity College network, including PCs, Macs, tablets, mobile phones, etc. Students must configure each device for network access using the instructions on our SNAP page. To connect via a wire, students must provide an ethernet cable. To connect via wireless, students must provide a wireless interface. Ethernet cables and wireless cards may be purchased in the Unity College bookstore or any computer supplies store. For your convenience, at least one terminal is provided in a common room of each residence hall (with the exception of TerraHaus and the Cottages.)
Phone Service
On campus telephone extensions are not available. Students requiring voice services are encouraged to purchase mobile phone service via a local provider (Verizon Wireless, U.S. Cellular, AT&T, and T-Mobile connections are available throughout campus. Sprint's network is not available.) Our experience indicates Verizon and U.S. Cellular offer the best wireless coverage in the area.
Cable TV
Time Warner cable TV services are provided in all residence hall rooms, with the exception of TerraHaus. To access this service, you will need a standard cable TV coaxial cable and a TV. (If you have an older television, you may need a coax cable adapter and you may not be able to get all channels.) Additional cables services (Digital TV, HBO, Disney, Pay-Per-View, etc.) may be ordered directly from Time Warner.
Alumni Services
Upon graduating, student accounts are converted to alumni accounts. Your email address will change from @unity.edu to @alumni.unity.edu. All data stored in your Google Docs and Google Sites will move to the new alumni account. You will need to move any email messages or data stored on network servers to your alumni account in order to retain access to this data. Alumni can access their accounts by going to: http://www.google.com/a/alumni.unity.edu
