Technology on Campus

Making technology an integral part of teaching and learning depends on two key factors: the availability of computer resources and the ability to use them. At Houston Christian University, we provide both!

Students have easy access to systems in across campus. Student kiosks in the Learning Commons and Learning Lab #114 in the Hodo Residence commons have laptop kiosks where students can check out laptops. These computers can be used to complete class assignments, check email, do Internet research, or surf the net. There are printing kiosks available in Learning Lab #114 in the Hodo Residence commons,  the Learning Commons and Founders Hall I.

There are other benefits as well.

• High-Speed Internet access across the campus.
• Easy accessibility to student computer resources.
• Computer-run instruments in the physical sciences labs, which collect data from experiments.
• Students can register for classes,check their financial status, print their balance, view the financial aid awarded for the year, print a schedule, and check for holds on their accounts — all online.
