Each year ITS participates in Carleton’s Student Satisfaction Survey as part of the ongoing effort to improve the services provided to students.

This past year students were asked about their experience with wireless on campus.

In order to compare results, the same questions were asked in the 2013 survey, and we are happy to report that satisfaction has increased in every area.
