Computing Services

Undergraduate students are supported with a variety of computing services. Students receive an SCU Username and password that provides access to multiple applications and resources via MySCU. Students also have access to high-speed wired and wireless networks for campus and Internet resources. Students may use the network to access their Gmail and Google Workspace account, Camino learning management system, SmartPrint, Zoom web conferencing, Portfolium, Qualtrics, and Workday.

SCU email is used by the University to send official notifications to undergraduate students, and is also used as a frequent communication tool between and among faculty and students. Students are therefore urged to use their SCU email address as their primary email. Students who opt to utilize other email services are advised to check their SCU email frequently to avoid missing important communications.

The University provides over 140 PC and Mac workstations in the Learning Commons with a variety of software packages to support both general computing needs and multimedia production.

Free guest wireless access is also available for students’ visiting friends and family.

Workday

All students have access to administrative information and services at all times through Workday.  Students use Workday to enroll in classes, review financial accounts, maintain personal information like addresses and phone numbers, and more.

Student employees use Workday to fill out their timesheets, view their paychecks and more.

Information Security

The Information Security Office advocates for the protection of the University’s information assets, and works with campus groups to ensure that students, faculty, and staff have access to all of the information resources they need. This office educates the SCU community on cybersecurity issues, identifies security risks to University networks and data, and works to protect the University against malware, virus outbreaks, and other cyberattacks with modern defense capabilities.
