Scheduling Time in the Labs for Special Purposes

Computer lab facilities are scheduled for use by contacting the Manager of Customer Services. All requests for special use of the facilities must be arranged at least one week in advance in order to provide adequate notice of closure to regular users. University faculty has priority in the scheduling of the computing facilities. The following labs may be reserved for special usage; Folsom 101A, Folsom 101B and the South Hall Lab.

Reserved computer labs are used for full participation. Contact AV department at x632 if only a projector is needed for presentations.

It is advisable for instructors or divisions who anticipate classes using computer equipment to consult with Computer Services at least three months in advance to determine projected needs for equipment, software, and time slots.

Faculty often schedules both instructional time and lab time for their students, either for a short term or for an entire semester.

Scheduled users of facilities are responsible for security. The facility must be attended at all times by personnel approved of by Computer Services.
