Computer Labs

About the Computer Labs

Staff and work-study students are available to assist you in the library with logging into your email, connecting to Wi-Fi, viewing your schedule, printing & copying, accessing Microsoft Office, using D2L, and more. During peak hours, students completing coursework have priority over other computer users.

Student Coursework

Hennepin Tech students are expected to be familiar with the software for their classes while working in the Student Computer Lab. The Student Computer Lab staff is not responsible for knowing all software in the computer lab. If students have a specific problem with software use or assignments, they should discuss it with their instructor or obtain assistance in one of the Tutoring Centers

The Tutoring Centers, Math Center or Writing Center at each campus are available to assist with tutoring. See the Tutoring Centers for room locations, hours and additional information.

Student Email Accounts

Hennepin Tech provides a “my.HennepinTech.edu” e-mail account to all Hennepin Tech students. To set up an email account, please visit the MyHennepinTech webpage.

StarID Accounts

StarID is a single username login for eServices, and other services used by Hennepin Tech students and employees. If you would like to set up a StarID account, please see a lab assistant in the Student Computer Lab or go to StarID Self Service to set up your account and for additional information. To have your password reset, you may visit the Student Computer Lab, with your Student ID Card, or use one of the options on the Hennepin Tech StarID webpage.
