Reserve a computer lab
- Some of our computer labs have classrooms that can be reserved for use by an academic class or training conferences.
- Classrooms can be reserved for individual dates or for the same time for multiple weeks in a semester.
- Due to high demand for semester long classes, we begin processing reservations for classrooms approximately three months in advance. We cannot accept reservations submitted less than one week in advance. It is very important to submit semester-long reservations as far in advance as possible.
Make a reservation
- Reserve a computer lab for classroom use. We do not process reservation requests via phone or email.
- To reserve a computer lab, click “Request Courses and Sections” link in the main menu of the reservation system. You can then request a lab for a particular semester, or on a day-by-day basis.
- When you have completed your request, you will receive a confirmation email from us when the lab has been officially reserved. If there are any problems, we will contact you for more information.
- Lab classrooms can be reserved for up to two hours per section request. If you require a lab for a longer period (a six hour conference, for example), you must make multiple sections. There is no limit to the number of sections a class can have, but the section names must be different.
Costs
- Academic courses and exams can reserve lab classrooms at no cost provided the lab is open, otherwise a $18/hour staffing fee will be charged.
- Lab classrooms can be be reserved for training purposes for $25/hour if the training is a non-commercial course for students or staff.
- Academic or university-affiliated conferences can reserve lab classrooms for $50/hour.
