Santa Barbara City College is in the process of installing wireless Internet access at a number of locations throughout the campus. Currently, there is wireless access in the Campus Center dining room and lounge areas, Computer Science Lab, Eli Luria Library on the top floor, West Campus Snack Shop and the Communication Lab. These access points can be identified by large red signs that state “WI-FI SBCC wireless” and are posted in the general location of the wireless connection points. Wireless access is for Internet use only, but includes Campus Pipeline, WebCT and other online, Internet accessible resources and services.
