Computer Support
The College of Business provides a host of computer services from computing labs to email and file storage areas. Every student, faculty and staff member associated with the College of Business receives an Active Directory account on the college's network, an Exchange email box, and file storage. Although these services perform similar functions to the ONID (OSU Network ID) accounts, mailboxes, and storage areas provided by the university, they typically offer nicer features and support the College of Business' academic programs.
