Online Libraries: To facilitate the continuous development of learning resources available to our students, SCIT has formed partnerships with prominent educational institutions to share access to online academic resources. SCIT students have access to online libraries from;

Wireless Access: High-speed wireless internet access is available to student throughout the SCIT campus free of charge. Students who have laptops with wireless cards or other Wi-Fi devices and are within the signal broadcast range may connect to the wireless network.

Digital Media library

The SCIT Media Library is a collection of instructional DVDs related to course topics that students may access and view on individual computer viewing stations. Students do not need to worry about the availability of the videos since they may be accessed by multiple students at any one time. A convenient user interface sorts the instructional videos based on the courses offered at SCIT so students may easily find what they are looking for. The collection provides faculty members with educational media to support classroom instruction and also provides students with non-book materials to support Independent Study and class research projects.
