It provides high capacity digital network infrastructure and supports a diverse, multiplatform, high-bandwidth distributed computing environment for the campus. From freshmen to administrators to advanced researchers, the NC State community benefits from an excellent networking infrastructure and connections to global internets. The campus has 12 multimedia distance education classrooms capable of bi-directional, interactive analog audio/video transmission. Six of these also support IP-based telecasting. Three high-quality external channels (analog or MPEG2) provide connectivity to NCREN and UNC system communities; Two commodity channels allow for global gateway capabilities.

The DSO pursues this mission by facilitating effective reasonable accommodations for students, faculty, and staff, educating the campus community, and promoting equal access and opportunity.

According to Younce, of all the college and university police departments in the United States, only 32 are accredited. Only one other university police department in the state is accredited.
