Technology

SVA provides student access to computers and the Internet (highly filtered) in the Computer Lab, the Library, and the Computer Rooms in each dormitory. Wi-Fi is available throughout the Administration Building. Because there are many computers in multiple locations on campus, students are not permitted to bring their own computer to campus. Students are able to store and retrieve their personal and protected files on SVA’s file servers and may access them remotely. Because of security issues, personal memory sticks (flash drives, thumb drives, etc.) are not allowed. Laptop computers are available for short-term loans from the Deans. Seniors may borrow an SVA laptop computer for extended periods of time, as required for academic pursuits.

All of the dormitory rooms have standard phone jacks for a direct phone line to their room.

All of our classrooms have video projectors connected to a computer with access to the Internet and video recording/playing devices with surround-sound. We currently have three SmartBoards in use in the science, physics, and math classrooms.
