Brock is welcoming students who don\u2019t have internet access at home to participate in a \u2018Wi-Fi drive-in\u2019 in the University\u2019s parking lots.<\/p>\n
Students are able to park their cars for free in select Brock parking lots to use the University\u2019s internet access through its wireless network.<\/p>\n
The best parking lots for the optimal wireless connections are the ones in front of Brock\u2019s East Academic<\/a> and the area of Lot EA in front of the International Centre<\/a><\/u>, which is behind East Academic.<\/p>\n To ensure physical distancing, students who use this Wi-Fi option are asked to space out their cars when choosing a parking spot and not gather in groups in their cars. This will also allow for a stronger wireless connection, although Wi-Fi performance could be impacted by heavy use if many cars are present.<\/p>\n While the wireless access will not be shut off at any point, the recommended hours to use the drive-in Wi-Fi are from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. for safety purposes.<\/p>\n Alternatively, the Computer Commons (Fish Bowl) and IT Help Desk located in it remain open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.\u00a0Computers have been spaced out to fall in line with physical distancing recommendations.<\/p>\n Remote support is available from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday to Friday for faculty, staff, students and the rest of the Brock community.<\/p>\n
