Technology Resources

Computer access is available in the Learning Commons (RM 3L01).

When using the library databases or other online resources, go to svcc.edu/library. No login is necessary when accessing the Learning Commons Library resources from a computer on campus. When accessing these same resources from off campus, students will be prompted to verify current student status using their Sauk login.

Canvas is an online space where students can access course materials.  In Canvas, instructors can post instructional videos, web links, and presentations for the course.  They may also create learning activities such as online discussions, quizzes/tests, assignments, and small group activities.  To access courses, click Canvas on the Quick Jump menu on the svcc.edu website (svcc.edu).  See svcc.edu/login for login instructions. See svcc.edu/learn-canvas for Canvas tutorials.

Students will use their Sauk Login to print in any of the computer labs. Students will be given $10 worth of free printing each semester (it will  automatically be added to accounts at the start of each semester). Money will not carry over to the next semester and the money can only be used for printing. Printing from College computer lab printers will cost 5¢ per page for two-sided pages and 10¢ for a single sided page. This will give students between 100 - 200 pages per semester that can be printed for free.

If students need to print additional pages (above the $10), accounts can be replenished in the Business Office (RM 1H02) or the Student Services Center (RM 1E01), Students can print color pages for 25¢ in the Learning Commons (RM 3L01).
