Knox guarantees students open access to its computer resources. The entire campus—all academic and residential rooms—is linked through a fiber-optic and wireless network to the Internet. Every student with a compatible computer can log on from his or her suite room. In addition, the College provides four computer facilities across the campus that are open to students.

Access to information technology resources owned or operated by Knox College is a privilege and imposes certain responsibilities and obligations, and is granted subject to College policies, and local, state, and federal laws. All who utilize the Information Technology Resources of the College should read and fully understand the Knox College Policy on Acceptable Use of Information Technology Resources.

Please note, however, that the College and its staff, professional or student, cannot service privately owned computer hardware or software for a variety of licensing and warranty reasons.
