Services:
Lawtech provides assistance to students, faculty and staff for general computing issues (accounts, wireless connectivity, printing, malware, Drexel software downloads) and law school specific services or applications (including Exam software, Sharepoint, Blackboard Learn, and TWEN). We do not perform hardware upgrades or replacement. We also cannot contact your hardware vendor on your behalf for warranty issues.
Note: Students are responsible for ensuring that their data is safely backed up prior to requesting technical assistance. We will try to assist students in backing up class related data, but we are not responsible for lost or omitted data.

Guides for connecting to the wireless network
Drexel University provides campus-wide connectivity via three wireless networks.
Students should connect to DragonFly3, which provides the highest bandwidth and security, fewest restrictions, and relief from competing radio interference.
Note: In order to successfully submit exams, wirelessly, via Exam4, students must be connected to the DragonFly3 network.
Information on how to connect to the DragonFly3 network is available at: http://drexel.edu/irt/help/a-z/dragonfly3/.
Printing & Copying Services
The multi-function printers in the Legal Research Center are available for print and copy jobs and may be accessed from either a Legal Research Center workstation, or wirelessly from your laptop.
Specific information is available at: http://drexel.edu/law/academics/library/printing-copying/
Note: The wireless printing system is subject to outage due to routine maintenance procedures. This may affect access to this service. Students experiencing difficulty printing wirelessly should contact LawTech for assistance.
Exam4
Students may use their personal laptop computers for taking classroom-based or take-home exams. For all exams, students must install Exam4 on their computers.
Detailed information on how to get and use Exam4 is available in Exam Center within Community Property. When prompted to log in, be sure to enter your username in the format username@drexel.edu (where username is your short Drexel ID, e.g. "abc99") and your Drexel password.
