Individual printers are certainly welcome, but not a necessity. Students are able to print to numerous campus owned printers from their personal laptops using EveryonePrint. Our *Environmental Print Policy provides students a $50 quota per year, prints are charged per page at $0.05 black and white or $0.30 for color.
Ethernet Network Cable
While most of the campus has wireless access, an Ethernet cable with provide the fastest most reliable method for computers and game consoles to connect to the campus network. A free cable is provided (up to 10’) by the Office of Information Technology to all incoming students. If you find you need a longer cable, there are a wide variety available online and at local stores.
Coaxial Cable
This cable allows students to connect a TV in their residence hall room to the campus cable network. Only one coaxial connection is available for each room. Mount Union does not provide incoming students with a coaxial cable, so students must bring their own.
Each room in the residence halls provides several receptacles, but we find in many cases this is a worthwhile item to pack. A power strip will provide additional outlets to the student, while in many cases also providing surge protection.
