Computer Labs
The 12 Instructional Computing labs on campus are equipped for use as classrooms and can be reserved by instructors for teaching. When classes are not in session labs are available to students on a drop-in basis to work on assignments, collaborate with peers, use University-owned software, print, etc.
Most labs are open from early in the morning until late at night with some labs open 24 hours. The 12 lab locations are geographically distributed across campus for easy access from wherever you are.
Labs with Macintosh, Windows, and Unix (Solaris) computers are available with an extensive software library already installed. Instructors can request the installation of additional software for course use.
Every lab computer provides automatic access to your UCSC home directory for shared file storage and offer black and white laser printing for $0.12/page. Color laser printing is available at the Porter Arts lab. Most locations have consultants available to provide technical assistance.
Digital and analog video editing equipment is installed at some locations along with various other peripherals including scanners, slide scanners, zip drives, floppy drives, etc. Cruznet wireless access is available at most lab locations.
