Computing Facilities
There are four open computer labs available throughout campus, which are available for students to use, daily, from early morning until late evening. These labs are equipped with the software that students need to do their assignments. A few of these programs are MS Office, Visual Studio, Visual Studio.Net, Multisim, Minitab, Matlab, Visio, among many others. The open labs are 1L202, 1L212, 3N217, and 1C213. Students can come to these rooms to their homework, research, surf the internet, or check their mail. All rooms are manned by College Assistants, who are there to assist faculty, staff, and students. All rooms also have equipment that assist students with disabilities - including software like Jaws, Dragon, etc., as well as ADA compliant furniture. All computers are state of the art equipment, upgraded on a regular schedule. Computer Lab Schedules
In addition to the open labs, there are computers available in the lobbies of 1S, 2S, 3S, 4S, 1N, 2N, 3N, and 4N, and systems are also located in the 1L Cybercafe and the 1C Campus Center .
