• As of Spring 2025, all current students with a known military affiliation have automatically been granted access.
• New students who have disclosed a military affiliation will automatically be given access during the first two weeks of classes or can contact us if earlier access is needed. Any other student who wants access can contact us as well. Note: It can take up to 4 business days to receive access once requested.
  • ROTC students with no other military affiliation: we request a list of ROTC students from your program after classes start. 
• The break room, printer and other parts of the center are not available when the center is closed. 

Several computers are available for student use throughout the center.
