Depending on the complexity of the product it may be installed immediately, installed in select labs, or it may have to wait for a major lab rebuild. Major lab rebuilds only occur in August and January due to the time needed to complete the process. If instructors want a product included in a major lab rebuild then they must have the software package to Academic Support Unit by November 1st for Spring Semester, or July 1st for Fall Semester. The Academic Student Computing Labs will be staffed during open hours with lab assistants hired by the Division of Information Technology. Lab assistants are charged with the responsibility of providing basic support, and to maintain an atmosphere suitable for academically related work.
Computers are open and available for use on a first come, first served basis.
Unaccompanied children are prohibited in the labs. If children accompanying their parents are disruptive, the parents will be asked to remove the children from the lab. Tobacco products, food, drinks, and radios are prohibited in any microcomputer lab area. Tape players, walkmans, or compact disc players may be used only if the volume is such that adjacent users are not disturbed. A telephone for local calls is available in Ivinson 136.
