Technology

We are an academic and research community driven to develop big ideas and tackle challenging problems. Our technology supports these efforts.

Technology capabilities include a high-speed campus network infrastructure with extensive wireless access, innovative learning and teaching spaces, digital media capabilities to enhance instruction, high-performance computing for research and self-service administrative systems.


Tools for Learning and Collaboration

Students use the web and a portfolio of mobile applications to register for classes, communicate with faculty and colleagues, and administer their campus activities. Many faculty incorporate active learning with flexible technology, often improving student learning and participation.


Computing on Campus

Wireless networking throughout the residential areas, gathering spaces and many classrooms gives students flexible access to academic materials, software, printing services and entertainment. Computing labs in residential areas and classroom buildings provide additional computing resources.

Computing centers on the Danforth and Medical campuses provide access to virtual computing environments, cloud computing services and high-performance computing clusters for faculty. A secure, high-availability, high-speed data network interconnects all campuses and links the university with Internet and National Lambda Rail research networks. The many classrooms equipped with multimedia technology and network connectivity provide a wide range of options for teaching.

Universal Login

The WUSTL Key login and password provide access to university systems online. University schools, centers and departments may request guest WUSTL Key accounts for approved individuals.

WashU 2FA two-step authentication provides a second layer of security to your WUSTL Key account when accessing the WashU Human Resources Management System.

Campus Card

Your Washington University ID gives you access to your meal points, Bear Bucks and buildings on campus.


Students Shaping Technology

Students help to shape the technology on campus. Student Technology Services facilitates a variety of creative programs to assist the Washington University community with involvement in technology on campus.
