There are approximately 250 computers on the Dana College campus for use by students, faculty, and staff. All computers are connected via fiber-optic network to one of several internal file servers and the Internet. The ratio of students to computers is approximately five to one. There are several computer labs available across campus. The main computer lab in the Margre Henningsen Durham Center houses 26 Windows computers, and there are four smaller labs in the Dana LIFE Library, the Learning Center, the Dana Hall of Science, and the Durham Center. There is also a Macintosh lab with 11 computers in the Madsen Fine Arts Center. Each of the Residence halls also has a computer lab with three Windows-based machines providing 24-hour access.

Network accounts are available to all students registered for at least one credit class, as well as to the faculty and staff. These accounts provide access to the software on Dana’s network and Internet. Direct Internet access is available to students in their residence hall room who have a computer and network card.

A training session, given by a member of the college’s Computer Services staff, is required for each new network user. Individual assistance is also available for students, faculty, and staff. Network and Internet accounts are discontinued when a user leaves the college.
