Student Resources
Providing students with quick, effective and accessible solutions to ensure they can continue learning in a remote environment
Mobile Hotspot Loan Program
For students whose remote learning environments don’t provide adequate Internet access, OIT made available 400 mobile hotspot devices which connect to the cellular network to provide network connectivity, free of charge.
Student Laptop and Equipment Distribution Program
OIT acted quickly to identify and secure 500 rental laptops for student, then developed an infrastructure to distribute them to students who needed the devices to participate in remote instruction.
One student, Juergen Riedelsheimer had previously depended on the equipment available at UCI’s computer labs. With the campus going remote, he explained, “Since we don’t have that access to UCI [anymore], it was a logical transition to kind of bring that technology home with me. Now I’m able to be competitive and do the things I need to do.”
“UCI did really well...I’m so proud to be an Anteater. I mean, honestly, I think attending UCI is the best choice I’ve made.”
