The College of New Rochelle
 

   
Academic Computing Services (ACS) offers a broad range of technology-related services and resources at The College of New Rochelle. Working collaboratively with the Gill Library, Media Services, and Learning Support Services, the area supports the implementation of an institutional planning priority -- the use of technology to enhance communication and collaboration among members of the College community. ACS provides training and consulting services, access to desktop computing, and the software tools that students, faculty, and staff need to meet the challenges of a highly technological world.
 Student using computer
 
The primary mission of Academic Computing Services is to serve as a training, consulting, and resource center to assist faculty in the integration of technology into the curriculum. ACS offers research and assistance on instructional software and Web-based resources and advice on using them to enrich the teaching and learning experience. A variety of training opportunities are available for faculty and staff, including small group demonstration sessions and a regular series of workshops on popular software programs. The Faculty Resource Room is designed to serve as a primary location for in-service workshops and as a place where faculty and staff can experiment with new technology resources.
 
Academic Computing Services also provides access to desktop computing for students in all four Schools (School of Arts and Sciences, School of Nursing, Graduate School, School of New Resources) in computer lab facilities and classrooms at the New Rochelle campus. The area offers both Personal Computer (PC) and Macintosh (Mac) Labs, and arranges faculty use of the computer classrooms in the Helen and Peter Mooney Art and Educational Technology Center. In addition, ACS provides laptops and boxlight equipment loans to faculty for use with course materials and presentations.
 

As the evolution of technology continues to provide new challenges and opportunities within the academic community, Academic Computing Services is responsible for keeping abreast of the potential for its use within the College and within higher education in general. We take a leadership role in evaluating new software and the critical technology developments that will enrich the academic experience and help fulfill the mission of the College.
