Interactive Campus Map
Many students may have used the campus map to find the right building for class, but you can also use it to track the Miner Metro shuttles in real time. Students can see exactly where each shuttle is and know when it will arrive. There are several routes the shuttles follow, that can take passengers all the way up to Miner Canyon, or down to the Campbell Building on Arizona Street. To see the exact schedule and run times on any device, go to utep.edu/map , and click on the Transit Menu near the top.
New Students Web Page
The “Welcome to UTEP” web page gives you information on the free tech services you get as a UTEP student. There, you will find links to information on how to download free Microsoft Office programs, how to activate free anti-virus software on your personal computer, how to get free tech support from the Computer Clinic, and about our Equipment Checkout Center where you can borrow laptops, cameras, calculators, and more, among other helpful tools and services. Visit the website ts.utep.edu/newstudents .
Mobile Print - Wireless Printing
With UTEP Mobile Print, anyone can send their documents to UTEP lab printers straight from their mobile device. There are three different ways to use Mobile Print. The first is by going to the web site and upload documents to be retrieved from any lab printer. The second way to use Mobile Print is to download the PrinterOn app to your phone. Search for the two UTEP printers, color and black & white, then upload from your phone and search for a black-and-white or color printer to upload your document to. The last option is to just email your documents to either wirelessbw@utep.edu or wirelesscolor@utep.edu . For more information on using UTEP Mobile Print, visit the info page below.
Blackboard Mobile App for Students
The Blackboard Mobile App allows you to access course information, get notifications for upcoming assignments and tests, and see your grades. You can download the app on both iOS and Android devices. After downloading the app, just search for UTEP, then log in like you would into Blackboard. This app will help students stay up-to-date with their academic experience and promotes a better engagement between instructors and students.
