Rosemont College Department of Information Technology

The Rosemont College Department of Information Technology supports the College’s mission statement by integrating technology throughout the institution. This vision recognizes the importance of information services and technology as a means to enhance Rosemont’s commitment to excellence, joy in the pursuit of knowledge, and dedication to educating women and men and to develop the strengths and abilities they require to respond to the needs and challenges of the times. Key components include:

• The iWay (http://iway.rosemont.edu): This portal allows students, faculty, and staff to access information including course registration, personal academic and financial aid information, Business Office information, and grades. The “Help Tab” on the iWay contains extensive assistance for all aspects of technology and is the first tier of tech support for the College. The Help Tab also provides appropriate contacts for further assistance if needed.
• Office 365 (http://email.rosemont.edu): In partnership with Microsoft Corporation, Rosemont offers all matriculated students and employees a rosemont.edu email address. All Rosemont College electronic communication with students uses this address. Students are expected to check campus email for important announcements, and to respond accordingly. The Rosemont email address can be easily forwarded to a personal email address, but the robust storage capacity, ease of use, and ability to log in from any computer make your rosemont.edu address very useful. Additionally, students receive free storage (1TB) for documents and other files using OneDrive, plus the ability to download the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) free of charge on up to five devices. For additional details, including login information, consult the Help Tab at http://iway.rosemont.edu.
• Rosemont College Online (https://rosemont.instructure.com): For the convenience of our students, Rosemont College offers a range of study options, including web assisted and fully online courses. The online platform is called “Canvas”.

Please view this short video from Rosemont’s Center for Teaching & Learning if you’re having trouble getting into your email, iway, or Canvas account for the first time!

All College related electronic communication is via the Rosemont email account. If you cannot access it, use the personal email address on record with the Registrar (students) or HR (faculty and staff) and write to: [email protected].

Wireless Access on Campus

All students with a personal computer or mobile device may take advantage of wireless access throughout campus. A brand new wireless network has been installed in each Residence Hall. Students will enjoy consistent and robust wireless connections using the new network in the Residence Halls. Resident students are also welcome to use wired internet access for a single device in their room. They may connect one network device to the drop (game console or laptop). Students may NOT install wireless or wired routers, hubs, or switches in their room. Public computer areas throughout the Gertrude Kistler Memorial Library and in the Science Building provide workspace for individual and collaborative use.

Media Services Support & Educational Technology

Media Services supports the College community by providing laptop projector combinations, TV DVD combinations, sound services, and other multimedia technologies for instructional support in the classroom. For media services, the Instructor should write to [email protected] at least two class days before date of requested use.
