The University
The primary computing capacity of the center is provided by a DEC VAXcluster running VMS which supports both timesharing and batch processing services. A campus network provides 9600 baud terminal access, with ethernet connectivity available in selected locations. IUP is connected to both the BITNET and Internet wide area networks.
Student access to computing is provided, for the most part, through the public computing laboratories. The primary public labs are strategically placed around campus to maximize their availability and impact. Several departments maintain computing facilities that are of a focused nature and which are intended to support specific programs.
Through implementation of its strategic computing plan, which is part of the university long-range planning process, the university is committed to providing the level of computing and information technology necessary for a modern institution of higher education. Guidance in this area is provided by both an Academic and an Administrative Computing Advisory Committee. Undergraduate and graduate students are represented on the Academic Computing Advisory Committee.
