Much of what appears on the internet and/or is distributed via electronic communication is protected by copyright law, regardless of whether the copyright is expressly noted. Users should generally assume that material is copyrighted unless they know otherwise, and not copy, download or distribute copyrighted material without permission unless the use does not exceed fair use as defined by the federal Copyright Act of 1976.

Distance Education

For assistance in distance education technology such as Blackboard or Zoom, please visit our Technology Resources page on the SLU website.

OAA has set up “Zoom Classrooms” to help facilitate distance education at SLU. Each course has been assigned a Zoom account that will host it. Professors can access their “rooms” by logging into Zoom from that room’s account. For example, Room 1918 would be slu431918@slu.cuny.edu as a login and professors who teach with this account will be given the password/“key” to that room. OAA will schedule all courses under the correct “rooms.” Make sure your students sign into class with their official first and last name to properly keep track of attendance.

Laptop Loaner Program

Students may borrow available laptops for use on-campus. Circumstances that generally warrant at-home use are impromptu school closures (i.e., natural disasters, threats to public/health/safety) or accessibility needs. Observation of federal holidays and scheduled term breaks do not qualify.

The loaner is a Windows-based PC that comes with standard software and a power adapter. The laptops are internally equipped with Wi-Fi for use where wireless access exists. All laptops are loaded with MS Office, Adobe Acrobat, as well as other SLU-approved software.

Students can download the Laptop Loaner Form here. For more information on the qualifications and policies governing laptop loaning, please visit the IT service desk website. If any technology problems persist, please notify: ITHelpDesk@slu.cuny.edu or 646-313-8440
