Reserve a computer lab
Computer classrooms and labs can be reserved for academic classes or training events. Reservations can be made for a single date or scheduled weekly throughout a semester.
Due to high demand for semester-long reservations, requests are processed in alignment with the Office of the Registrar Departmental Processing Schedule, approximately eight months in advance. We cannot accept reservations through the automated system submitted less than one week before the requested date. Requests made within one week of the desired date must be submitted via email at reserve@ics.illinois.edu.
To ensure availability, please submit semester-long requests as early as possible.
