What Is RESNET?
RESNET is the name for all the technology services
and support we provide to students as part of the housing program.

Additional Technology Services
RESNET
isn't the only ITS service Belmont provides. We offer a
full array of information and technology services to our on- and
off-campus students. Amenities include access to computer labs
across campus and personal technical assistance (when needed). The
Bunch Library features wireless high speed internet access... ask
the check out desk for details about borrowing a laptop computer to
go wireless in the library. All resident students have voicemail,
caller ID, cable TV, BTV movie channel and internet access in the
room.
What Is BIC?
In August 2002, Belmont launched an interactive
community known as BIC. BIC is Belmont's
Intranet, a private secure internet application.
As a student at Belmont, BIC will be your point of access to all of Belmont's services online. Through BIC you can log on to your student account, check bulletin boards, check convocation credits, register for classes, email your friends, find campus phone numbers and more! And because BIC is an intranet, it's accessible exclusively to Belmont students, faculty, staff and alumni.
