Reserving a Lab for Your Class Because of increasing and competing demands for the microcomputer labs by faculty reserving them for classes and students using them on a walk-in basis, Computing Services and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs have set up a procedure designed to ensure a fair allocation of computer resources. Procedure Instructors are asked to fill out a separate lab reservation request form for each course section. Any internal lab conflicts will be forwarded to the chairpersons and program directors for resolution. After resolving any intra-collegiate conflicts, the reservation forms will be processed for scheduling. Shortly thereafter the General Lab Usage Supervisor will convene a meeting, if necessary, of the Lab Reservations Coordinators to resolve the remaining lab conflicts.
Every effort is made to accommodate the needs of each instructor.
The reason for this requirement is that weekly lab schedules are posted outside each lab, so that students may plan their time in the labs. The locations and resources of the computer labs are available here . Please note the number of stations in each lab and limit your enrollment accordingly. Only three Macintosh labs and five Windows NT labs are available for faculty use. Because in any given time period only a limited number of instructors will have access to a lab, we ask that you be considerate and reserve the labs only for those class sessions when you will actually require students to use the computers.
