Computer Science

The Royal Military College Saint-Jean IT Section manages the EDUNET computer network. Subsequent to a briefing on computer security at the beginning of the academic year, the IT Section will provide each student with a user account, a password and an e-mail address. The network provides access to various software programs and the Internet.

Furthermore, it will be possible to browse your e-mails from your personal computer following the instructions available on the intranet.

Royal Military College Saint-Jean also offers you a wireless network (CFSJ-ELOF) to connect your laptop or any other personal device to the Web. It should be noted that the use of any wireless device or laptop in class must be authorised by the teacher. Text messaging and cell phone are prohibited at all times.

Computer Laboratories

There are three computer laboratories in the Lahaie Building. The two on the third floor (rooms LH325 and LH327) are used exclusively for teaching. Room LH113 may be used for completing assignments and/or conducting research on the Internet.

Food and beverages are strictly forbidden in computer laboratories. Access to computer facilities is considered to be a privilege; those who violate existing regulations could lose this privilege.
