Twelve computer labs are available on campus for your courses and for independent access to printers and course-specific software. Each lab provides either Windows-only or Windows and Macintosh computers with multiple USB ports, and is fully compliant with CSU accessibility standards. An up-to-date list of the equipment currently available can be found in each facility.

Labs are also equipped with a wide range of software. Additional or specialist software may be requested for installation to support a specific activity.

Different labs offer different hardware and software setups, so bear this in mind when choosing a lab for class or event use. Once you have selected a lab, computer access requires only your HSU User Name and Password.

Faculty: It's important to test any specially-installed software you plan to use in the lab in that lab before you teach your class to ensure that everything is functioning as you expect. Contact Classroom Technology Services at (707) 826-3169 for more information on orientation and training.

Humboldt State University is committed to ensuring that all lab users have a positive and productive lab experience. This means:

• an environment free of disruptive activity
• computers that are in good working order and not modified by previous use
• surroundings free from problems caused by food, beverages, and other damaging substances.

Please do your part by leaving the working area clean and the computer in proper working order when you have completed your session.
