University-owned computer. Many of these programs are also
available from student-owned computers by accessing Cedarville’s
virtual computer lab.
CedarNet is a winner of the CAUSE Award for Excellence in
Campus Networking. This prestigious national award recognizes
colleges and universities that exemplify best practices in campus
networking in higher education. CedarNet’s connection to the
Internet is robust, supported by dual high-speed fiber links that
ensure high availability.

Wireless network access is provided in classroom areas, coed
lounges, residence hall rooms, and in large gathering areas such
as the Centennial Library, the Stevens Student Center, and the
Dixon Ministry Center. Wireless access is also available outdoors
on campus lawns and athletic fields.
To enable students to take further advantage of the network,
public laboratories are conveniently open to on- and off-campus
students with a total of 200 stations available. In addition to
wireless access, each residence hall room has two Ethernet ports
for direct connection to Cedarnet.
