General Classroom Details

All computer classrooms on both Campuses are networked. The computers in these rooms have a full range of Internet services including E-mail, web browsers, terminal emulation, FTP etc.

They are also equipped with the appropriate applications such as word processors, spreadsheets, database programs, statistical analysis software, compilers and special purpose software. General student computer labs on both campuses are also available.

Student accounts are created automatically from student registration information. A Lakehead Webmail account is also set up for every student at this time.

Lakehead’s e-mail service is provided by Google as part of a new partnership developed in November of 2006. The e-mail accounts are never deleted and may be used by students as a personal account after graduation.
