Other Services Campus Technology Guides

All of Ferris’ main campus has wireless access, both indoor and outdoor. However, as with any wireless network, there are dead spots across campus.

One of these Anti-virus programs is required on all computers using the Ferris network to connect to the internet. This is to protect the Ferris network and students from viruses and spyware. The Ferris network also has a hardware firewall for additional protection from outside threats.

Ferris does not charge a technology fee. Therefore, any technology equipment needed for a class (such as Classroom Performance System clickers) is purchased separately.

There are currently no policies regarding e-textbooks. Ferris does not restrict the use of e-textbooks, but there are some classes that may require a hard copy. There are several online companies that do provide e-textbooks and the baseline hardware and software standards recommended by Ferris will support e-textbooks after any software that may be required to download or listen to the e-textbooks is installed.
