Get Connected
GSWireless provides wireless access in classrooms, residence halls, administrative and auxiliary locations, and even some outdoor spaces. We have secure and guest networks as well as a network devoted to gaming consoles and smart TVs.
Zoom
A service so popular it doesn’t need a clever title. All students at Georgia Southern have access to Zoom. You can meet virtually anywhere (we’re a sucker for a double entendre).

Spread Your Wings
WINGS is Georgia Southern’s Student Information System and allows you to register for classes, view your records, pay tuition, apply for Financial Aid, and that’s right… apply for graduation. Can’t wait to see you walk across that stage, Eagle!

Live the Suite Life
Georgia Southern is a Google partner school, which means that you have access to the G Suite of applications, including Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, and much more. It’s everything you need in one “suite” package.

Adopt a Lab
Deciding between traditional computer labs, virtual labs and puppies is up to you. Utilize one of our campus computer labs if you’re on campus or learn how you can use Virtual Labs, our cloud lab environment, to access computer lab software from anywhere.
Preserves Over Jam
Printers can jam your documents, jam your wireless signal, and jam your pockets with receipts for expensive print cartridges. Preserve your funds and your sanity by using PaperCut, our no-cost student print solution. Georgia Southern students print for free, from anywhere.
