Also known as ID Services, this office is a central distribution point for services and information affecting all DePaul students. ID Services distributes such essentials as DePaul Cards, student e-mail accounts, and Campus Connection login and password information. ID Services also coordinates CTA U-Pass distribution to eligible students at the beginning of each quarter. The main offices for ID Services are located at the Loop and Lincoln Park campuses, with additional locations at the suburban campuses. Call (312) 362-5959 or (773) 325-7466, or visit the ID services page for details.

COMPUTER LABS

Located on every campus, the computer labs have over 1,000 computers available for students to work on course assignments, check e-mail, and use the Internet. Students can print homework in the computer labs by using the Intelliprint system . Students must have a valid DePaul Card to enter and use the labs and to use Intelliprint. Some labs are reserved for specific purposes and may not be open to all students at all times.

RESNET HIGH-SPEED INTERNET CONNECTIONS

In conjunction with Student Affairs, Information Services offers all residence hall students a free, high-speed Internet connection. Campus residents who bring their own computer and Network Interface Card to DePaul can plug into the data jack in their rooms. Data connections make e-mail and Internet research convenient because the student’s telephone line remains open when connected to the Internet and is approximately 20 times faster then a modem connection.

E-MAIL

Every currently enrolled student at DePaulUniversity has a free, university-provided e-mail address. New students are supplied with account details when they pick up their DePaul Cards; the account stays active for as long as a student is enrolled. Accounts are cancelled when courses are not taken for two consecutive terms.

Dial tone service is active when students move in and is included with room fees. Additional features, automatically added at no cost, include call waiting, three-way calling and call forwarding.
