PBU's Student Technology Program is purposed to provide YOU, the student, with a gateway to the information superhighway.  Using your own computer or a new computer purchased through our Laptop Program, you will be able to access e-mail and other Internet resources via PBU's high-speed T1 connection.  No more modems, busy signals or slow connections!  You can be on-line all of the time!  All on-campus dormitories are equipped with Internet access via wireless access points. In addition, several wireless access points have been implemented around campus to further enhance connectivity for users with wireless capabilities. These areas include the student lounge, library, select areas of the Biblical Learning Center, and the Coffee House.

E-mail is used regularly by the University to communicate with the student body. All students are required to maintain an active PBU-based email account. Students may optionally upgrade their technology plan to include network resources and Internet access. Various options are available to accommodate the needs of different students.  Please keep in mind that traditional modem connections are not available in the on-campus dormitories. The cost (if applicable) of the plan you choose will be billed to your student account. Be sure to check out the Laptop Program and see how it can benefit you!!
