Center, School of Management students will receive a free $1 allocation in the default MGT-LAB purse,
which is given out at the start of the academic year. A purse is a term used by the iprint@ub to refer to an
account that may contain actual dollars or free quota to allow students pay for their individual print jobs.
Once the free allocation in the MGT-LAB purse is expended, print jobs can only be released using
personal Campus Cash purse funds. In order to add money to the Campus Cash account use UB Card
account management interface. http://www.myubcard.com/ubcard/account The UB-provided iprint
quota, allocated annually to all UB students for printing in central computer labs, is not available for use in
the Management lab.
Additional computer facilities are located throughout the campus, such as those in Baldy Hall, Bell Hall,
Clemens Hall and the Undergraduate Library in Capen Hall. Several of the facilities are open 24 hours a
day.
Students at UB are required to have access to a computer and printer. This access goes beyond what is
provided in the university's public computing sites, the university's My Virtual Computing Lab,
http://www.buffalo.edu/ubit/service-guides/software/my-virtual-computing-lab.html, and School of
Management's student computer lab located in Jacobs 210. While ownership is not strictly required, most
will find it essential for success in their academic pursuits. If you already own a computer or are looking to
purchase a new computer, please refer to the university's recommended computing standards, in addition
to the School of Management's requirements at http://mgt.buffalo.edu/internal/computingreqs.
Students with personal laptops may access the network through UB's Wireless Internet Zones on
campus. The wireless network access is available on all three floors of the Jacobs Management Center
and the Alfiero Center as well as across the three campuses. Students should consult with the "UB
Wireless Network Access" website maintained by CIT for current standards and information. This is
located at http://www.buffalo.edu/ubit/service-guides/getting-connected/access-to-the-ub-network.html
To ensure all traffic through the wireless open ports is secure and encrypted, it is recommended that
students utilize the wireless network UB_Secure as their choice for any wireless activity.
Students also have access to 10 team breakout rooms in the Alfiero Center for group study and project
activities. Information regarding the scheduling of a room is available at
http://mgt.buffalo.edu/home/students/facilities/breakout

administrators, and fellow students. Incoming students will be provided an email account which is now
"powered" by Google. Upon graduation students are now allowed to maintain and use their UB email
account. Information can be found at http://www.buffalo.edu/ubit/service-guides/email.html.
Listservs are established early each semester to provide program administrators a convenient
communication channel with students. Full-time MBA/MS students, if you are not on a listserv, please
send a message to the Director of Graduate Programs (som-mba@buffalo.edu) and request that your
name be added to the list.
EMBA AND PMBA students: EMBAs should send a message to mgt-emba@buffalo.edu and PMBAs to
mgt-pmba@buffalo.edu.
This is a critical form of communication in the School of Management.
