Student Technology Center

The Student Technology Center (STC) is a facility that provides multimedia services as well as laptop, camera, projectors, and other checkouts to students, faculty, and staff of the University of Arkansas. The STC also handles checkout and setup for the mobile classrooms. The STC allows valid UA ID holders to check out equipment, to use one of the multimedia workstations, and to schedule one-on-one tutorials working with multimedia software. The STC was created with funds allocated by the Student Technology Fee Committee and is managed by University IT Services. It can be reached by phoning 575-8602. The Student Technology Center (STC) is located in the Arkansas Union, directly across from the Union General Access Lab and two doors down from RZs Coffee Shop. The STC phone number is 575-8602.

The STC helps with special academic projects.  Students need to schedule a one-on-one meeting for assistance. STC staff will guide students in the use of equipment and software, but we will not do the work for the student. We currently have three Windows PCs and one Macintosh PC for students to use to work on projects.  These machines have Adobe MX Studio, Adobe Creative Suite 2, Microsoft Office, and other specialized software on them.  The projects must be of an academic nature to qualify for student project use.

The STC also assists eligible students, faculty, and staff with university related web projects. Adobe Dreamweaver is the web site creation software application that is supported by the Student Technology Center (STC). STC staff can assist users in configuring Active Directory Accounts, can guide users through the setup for connecting to the wireless network, and can refer students to anti-spyware software, as well as assist with the download and installation.

Currently, the STC supports E-Frontiers Poser and Newtek Lightwave 3D software. The 3D software will only run on the workstations because of the specifications needed to run the software. The STC only has licenses for the currently installed software on the STC computers, and so cannot give out copies of any of the 3D software.

STC staff cannot work on personal computers, but can direct you to appropriate personnel who can. STC staff can offer advice on what the problem may be and how to fix it but are in no way held responsible for the advice.

The STC does not work on residence hall computers; these are handled by University Housing. They can be reached at 575-3951.
