All Zoom rooms in DW, EA, and NS can be used by students with laptops as well.   Campus has wireless throughout, so students with laptops have plenty of quiet corners to Zoom into a class.

Students using the classroom Zoom rooms’ computer equipment should call the Helpdesk for assistance the first time they use the technology.  This is especially recommended if students wish to use the projector and other technology.   The number is listed above the phone found in each classroom.

Room occupancy limits posted on every door must be observed to ensure social distancing and a safe learning environment for everyone.

IU South Bend will also have tents set up around campus with tables and chairs for students to work on their mobile devices.  These tents will be available for use weather permitting.  Let’s hope for a temperate fall.
