Trinity Baptist College Student Technology Guide 2010-11 4 Introduction Welcome
Welcome to Trinity Baptist College! In today's connected world, technology is a part of our every day life. There are many technology resources available for your convenience at Trinity. Technology services provides the ministry with computer software, hardware and telecommuni- cations support. We have written this guide to help you make the best use of the resources available here on campus.
This technology guide will provide you with information about using computer resources on campus as well as when you work from home. We include information for getting technical help, signing up for internet access, using dormitory telephone systems, accessing wireless services, using research tools in the library and printing documents.
If you don’t have your own computer or you’re on campus and want to check your e-mail, the library is equipped with computers for students to use to send and receive e-mail, type papers, print documents, and do research on the web.
All library computers will begin web exploration at the student intranet page. The student intranet may be accessed at http://Trinityweb from any computer on the campus network. The student intranet contains quick links for checking your Trinity E-mail account, searching the library catalog (Athena), a student directory, the student handbook and other helpful links.
One of the links you’ll find on the student intranet is to MyTBC. It is through MyTBC that you may view your class schedule, enroll in summer and fastrack classes and pay your bill online. You may also use MyTBC to update your billing and student information. You can visit the MyTBC web page off campus by going to http://register.tbc.edu. You may already be familiar with MyTBC from the registration process.
We hope that you enjoy your academic life at Trinity. Trinity has much to offer spiritually, aca- demically and technologically and you should take advantage of all available opportunities. Don’t hesitate to check with the help desk ([email protected]) for information on campus computing and technology issues.

Sites that have not been categorized may also be blocked.
Occasionally a site may be placed in a category that you or the ministry may not agree with. Websense maintains a web page that allows you to submit a request to recategorize a web site. The URL is http://www.websense.com/suggestachange/urls.php Please use this page to submit a change request if you are unable to reach a site. Do not send your requests to the help desk!

Internet Policy - Student-Posted Online Content
All students should be aware of the fact that they are responsible for any content posted online via social networking sites or related online formats. The following guidelines have been provided to serve as a reference for any interaction with these types of sites.
1. Trinity Baptist College is committed to the safety and personal well-being of our stu- dents and will not tolerate any form of social-bullying, harassment, or threat made online against other students, faculty, staff or any other member of the community of Trinity Ministries. (see also our Zero Tolerance Policy- Student Handbook p.32)
2. While online, if you are the victim of any form of harassment from another student it is your responsibility to report this to the appropriate dean immediately.
3. Any content posted by a student online is subject to both state and federal laws and it is the responsibility of the administration of Trinity Baptist College to report any online criminal behavior to the proper authorities.
4. The Standard of Conduct (Student Handbook p.7) also applies to online content.
Suggestions for Posting Online:
1. You are responsible for anything connected to your online accounts. This includes Facebook, campus email, online forums/messaging boards and your network inter- net account. Do not share passwords to any of your accounts.
2. Others can and will view your social networking accounts. What they see will leave an impression in their minds about you. Whenever you post anything online you lose a certain measure of control concerning how others perceive this information. (i.e. photos, status updates, applications and games)
3. Even if you delete an item this does not mean that others have not printed a copy of the original material or have not electronically saved information before it was delet- ed. It should be understood that deleting inappropriate, misleading, hurtful or threatening information after the fact does not always mean the situation has been rectified.
4. If you would not be comfortable with your parents, pastor/youth pastor, professors or other respected leaders in your life viewing the content you are about to post online then do not post it.

Step 1: Request Network Access: • Read the Computer and Internet Policy from the Student Handbook. A copy has been included for your convenience. • Fill out the attached “Network Access Request Form” online.
Step 2: Connect your system to the network: • Wired Access - Each room has one data jack, which is under the phone jack. The data jack is wider than a standard phone jack. You must have a 10BASE-T cable (included in the kit if you purchased one) which has wider connectors than a normal phone cord. A standard phone cord will not work. Plug one end of your cable into the Ethernet card or adapter on your computer; plug the other end into the data jack. Most Ethernet cards have a green light that will be illuminated while the computer is turned on and physically connected to an Ethernet network. (If there are multiple computers in a dorm room you may need to purchase an Ethernet hub or switch to be able to connect multiple computers to a single network outlet. This can be a shared cost.) • Wireless Access - To set up your laptop for public wireless access you will need an 802.11b compatible network card, Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher and your network username and password. The ministry has tested Orinoco and Linksys brand network cards. Other WIFI compliant wireless cards should also work but have not been tested. Configure your wireless SSID for “Trinity” or do a search for available networks and choose “Trinity.”
