Computer Labs - Request Labs or Software Form

Step 1 of 3

Please complete and submit the form below if you need to schedule a lab for teaching, will be using software for your class, or will be sending your students into the labs to do homework, regardless of whether you need scheduled times. If you need multiple lab locations or courses scheduled, please submit separate forms for each different lab location or course.

Important Notes

  • If you are requesting a reservation for the current or next quarter please check the existing schedule to see if the time and lab you want is available.
  • Finals in the labs must be scheduled separately, even if your lecture is already scheduled in a computer lab through the quarter.
  • Software can change from lab to lab and from quarter to quarter. Even if software is currently listed as available on the software page, please be explicit about your software needs so we can ensure it's there for you.

Request Deadlines

Lab time request deadlines

We make every effort to schedule classes for the current quarter within 2-5 business days. We schedule in batches for future quarters. View the request submission deadlines.

Software request deadlines

We may need to install and test software in our lab environment to ensure your software works by the time your class needs it.

  • For purchasing new software or licenses for your class, please submit your request six (6) weeks prior to start of class.
  • To add existing software or licenses for your class, please submit your request three (3) weeks prior to start of class.
