UITS labs are network-attached and offer easy access to the mainframe, etc.
The labs are equipped with both Macintosh and IBM-Compatible computers. Software provided ranges from word processors, spreadsheets, graphic packages, statistical, programming languages, and specific software which UITS installs to support class instruction. Check with the department or hall director for more information. The labs are well distributed around campus. Waiting lines seem to form at the very start of the semester, when students e-mail friends and family to touch base, and toward the very end of the semester when papers are due.
