Computer Facilities
The information technology resources available to the university community are rapidly expanding. ASUNET, the Augusta State University Network, is a campus-wide fiber optic network linking student microcomputer laboratories, academic and administrative offices, and Reese Library. ASUNET provides access to PEACHNET, the University System of Georgia's state-wide network, and the Internet, which provides access to computing resources all over the world. Our computing platform is a Hewlett-Packard 9000 Enterprise Server that runs the Oracle data base management system. Beginning fall 2000, grades, registration, and financial aid information are available over the web. Additional computing resources are provided by over 30 network file servers.

The university provides special training on campus-specific software packages, electronic mail, and other resources through a combination of periodic seminars and individual instruction. This training is provided free of charge. We offer our students, faculty and staff e-mail accounts and web space for personal websites. These services, along with ASUNET, are administered, in part, by the Office of Computer Services, located in Hardy Hall. The Office provides computing support for instruction, research, and administration. The staff, made up of professionals and supplemented by student assistants, supports the students, faculty, and university staff as they use today's technology in their daily routines. Support is offered through a variety of services, but primarily through the Student Help Desk and a Faculty/Staff Help Desk. Consult our Web site (http:// computer_services) for information about location and hours of availability.

The Student Help Desk: The purpose of the student help desk is to provide assistance to students with the use of the computers, software, and other peripherals in the campus computer labs. Phone support for students is available from the Student Help Desk by calling ext. 1676 during the hours posted in the labs. Walk-in support is also available as posted. Consult our Web site (http://www.aug.edu/computer_services) for information about location and hours of availability.
