Center for Information Technologies and Networks Introduction
Center for Information Technologies and Networks plans, designs, manages and operates networks of University, information systems, and so on.
Though we are working a lot places where students can't see directly, we provide below information about areas directly related to students.
Location
Our Center is located almost in the center of the campus, next to the library, and Center for Mathematical and Data Sciences (CeMDS) is located next to the Common Education Building 1.
IT Commons
Our center has a free space for self-study and group work called the IT Commons.
Some desks are equipped with power outlets so you can charge your PC or smartphone.
A large display is also available for students to connect their PCs and practice presentations.
Unified-account
User IDs and passwords are required to use the various systems. New students will receive a “Unified Account Notice” in writing at future guidance sessions.
We recommend that you set up a “Password Reminder” to remind you of your password.
If you have not set a password reminder, you can refer to your initial password at the “Service Terminal” located in Center for Information Technologies and Networks.
Student Email System
All students are issued an email address (based on Google's Gmail).
The email address will be “{Student ID}@m.mie-u.ac.jp”.
It will be used for various notifications as an official email address.
A unified account is required to use this service.
It is convenient to forward the e-mail address to your cell phone or set it up on your smartphone's e-mail application.

Mobile LAN
Mobile LAN is a wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) network for connecting bring-your-own computers and other devices.
It covers most classrooms on campus.
It is also available in public spaces such as the library, Environment and Information Science Building,
Co-op (cafeteria), Mini Stop, auditorium, gymnasium, and circle buildings.
A unified account is required for connection.

Secure VPN Connection Service
This service allows you to connect to the campus network from home or other locations.
Some of the systems on campus are “campus restricted” and can only be accessed from computers on campus.
This service allows you to securely access such systems from off-campus locations such as your home.
