By Diana Fedinec
A variety of software applications and online resources are just a click away for students who use the new Student Technology Toolkit developed by Southwest Information Technology Services. From how to obtain a campus ID badge to finding jobs to accessing such valuable academic tools as Navigate and Saluqi Degree, the toolkit provides a description and link to each resource. Students can access the technology toolkit by clicking on the red toolbox icon in their Southwest student portal at my.southwest.tn.edu. Below is a sampling of the some of the resources the toolkit has to offer.
Campus Identification Badge (ID)
This icon in the toolkit takes the student to an online request for a Southwest Campus Identification Badge. Enrolled students are required to have a campus photo ID when accessing Southwest’s locations. The badge must be updated each semester.
