Network Maintenance
The need for 24/7 access to our servers is becoming more and more necessary; however, routine maintenance and upgrades are also necessary for all of our network and network servers. To assist in planning, we have established weekly maintenance times for each of the following systems. CIT's maintenance of Calvin's network and network servers.

Printing
Faculty and staff are automatically given access to their department printer. In addition, they can add access to other printers using iPrint Secure Printer Setup.
In an effort to be good stewards of Calvin's technology resources, CIT provides students with a tool to monitor their on-campus printing. In conjunction with this tool, CIT has implemented a print quota. Each student is allotted a $30 printing quota per semester. This is the equivalent of 500 black and white pages or any combination of charges listed below. Any printing over the pre-defined quota will be included in the student's Miscellaneous Charges Statement at the end of the semester.
Student's cannot print to Calvin printers from personal computers through ResNet or wireless.
