Computers

• The SPH campus has computers for student use. There are 4 in the 7th floor study lounge (room 704), 4 in the 5th floor common area, and about 20 in room 707 which serves as a computer lab when there are no classes being held there.

                     *These computers require logging in with your SPH credentials.

• The above mentioned locations are open with the school's regular hours of operation, 8am-10pm. Please see the school's Public Safety page for more information on accessing the SPH campus.

Copy, Print, Scan

• Printing can be done from any computer on campus (including personal devices) by using the SPH PaperCut account (see below) or directly from the computers in the 5th and 7th floor common areas. All print jobs will be sent to the printer in this area.
• The 5th floor common area printer also has scanning and copying capabilities. 
• Students can also scan material by using the free CamScanner app and your device's camera. CamScanner converts scans to high-res images.

​Using the SPH PaperCut account:
