About Your Room

Network/Internet Access: All rooms have internet access. Simply plug your laptop into the computer jacks or log into King’s Wi-Fi network to access the web, King’s Student Portal, or Canvas. Personal wireless routers are not permitted — they interfere with campus-wide service and are subject to confiscation by Residence Life or IT staff. For tech support, contact helpdesk@king.edu.
