Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! All our computer lab locations offer real-time usage data so you can see which workstations are available (in green), in use (in blue), or offline (in grey). Just click the Find a computer... link in the campus computer lab list.
While only a few computer labs are truly 100% open-access and not reserveable for classes or events, you can also login to Campus Reservations 25Live system to review classroom location schedules. We help by printing out weekly schedule signs at the start of each week as a resource for those looking for their class, event, or otherwise when a space is available for use.

Is my data safe when using a lab computer?
All standard computer lab workstations, both Mac and PC, are configured with data security standards so upon logout, they will restart and clear any custom settings and saved data securely. Lab workstations will automatically log out after 10 minutes due to inactivity as well. For this reason, we strongly encourage making sure to save projects and data to the cloud, such as your Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint, or other cloud storage solutions.
