Bring your laptop, tablet, or other mobile device and connect to our cofc-guest wireless network. You may also reserve one of our affiliate desktop computers through the self service PC Reservation computer by the Rivers Green entrance. In addition, a free walk-up scanner is available in the first-floor copy room which allows users to scan documents or photos and upload them to email, flash drive, or mobile device.
