Access to a computer or the internet:
If you do not have access to a computer and/or the internet from home, special arrangements may be made for you to come to campus to utilize the computer labs. The move to remote learning is intended to eliminate large gatherings of individuals such as faculty and staff face-to-face in classrooms and labs, but the college will remain open during this period. If you live outside of Erie and coming to campus would present problems, our Office of IT Services is available at 814-217-HELP (4357) to help address your situation.
