College Bookstore

The Fisher College Bookstore sells books and supplies, as well as T-shirts, sweatshirts, cards and Fisher College souvenirs. Books and supplies are not included in the College Tuition or Comprehensive Fee.

Computing Environment

The College maintains computers and laser printers for student use in 2 labs, the Library, and the Academic Center for Enrichment. The computers are installed with Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, Microsoft Office, and the Netscape and Internet Explorer web browsers. All of the campus computers have Internet access.

The College offers T-1 Internet access to residence hall students. Students need to provide their own computers, software, and hardware to connect to the network, and will be required to follow some basic security guidelines to use the network. Fisher College uses a standard TCP\IP network with hard-wired connections in each room so nearly all personal computers will be compatible. The basic connection requirements are:

• A laptop or desktop computer
• Operating system support for TCP/IP and DHCP
• Ethernet Network Interface Card compatible with your computer and operating system
• CAT5e cable
• A virus and operating system patch inspection by the IS Dept.

The choice of computer is up to the user. Desktop computers are generally the least expensive and most easily customized, while laptops are more portable. Almost all modern operating systems will work fine. Fisher College recommends Microsoft Windows 2000 or WindowsXP,Apple OSX, or LINUX/UNIX, though Windows 95/98/ME/NT and older Apple systems can also work.
