Open Access Computer Labs Cal Poly has a number of computer labs that are open to students of any major. The labs vary in quality of hardware and amount of software. Some of the labs are available for reserving by teachers for classes and will not always be available.
Some labs have specific hardware and software and are thus more suitable for specific applications.
There are a few labs that are open 24 hours and contain only Unix terminals, which are commonly used to check e-mail and do classwork that requires Internet access. All labs are connected to the Internet and many have lab monitors to help users with problems or questions. Following is a list of the lab locations and notes about the labs. Open hours can be found by calling 756-OPEN or by looking at the schedules posted outside each lab. All Cal Poly students are allowed to have a UNIX account on the Central UNIX system.
