Wentworth's digital network provides Internet access through a robust 18 MB fiber circuit, and all dorm rooms are equipped with 10/100-switched Ethernet connections. Commuter students can access the network through lab computers or via ports in the library using their own Ethernet-ready laptops. Many academic areas of the campus, as well as the library, cafeteria and commons are wireless, offering additional access.

You can log on to access course pages and other academic resources such as the library and our architecture slide collection; community information; administrative services; and collaboration tools including group e-mails, discussion boards, chat groups and shared calendars.
