Reserve General Access Labs for Class Use

The General Access Labs, which are McGraw and Andersen Computer Labs, are supported by UWS GCA Lab Fund which stipulates a usage policy that the lab has to be open to students on a first come first basis for at least 80 hours a week. Therefore the labs cannot be reserved for class use on a regular basis. In order to serve the occasional group computing needs in various classes, we will take reservations following the guidelines below. Please make requests directly to GCA Lab Coordinator at villanub@uww.edu with information that includes:

• Your name, Department, Campus email address
• Number of computers you need (PC or MAC)
• Exact date and time you need to reserve the lab
• Software and other special needs
• Confirmation of reservation will be sent via email within two business days after receipt of request.

General Access Labs Reservation Guidelines

1. Reservation of the lab must be for instructionally related use unless otherwise approved by the GCA Lab Coordinator.
2. Reservations can only be made during the normal operation hours of the labs.
3. Reservation requests should be submitted at least five working days before the first session. Cancellations should be made at least 24 hours in advance.
4. The length of the reservation should not exceed a normal class period (50 - 90 minutes)
5. Only faculty members or staff members of university can make a reservation. The same faculty/staff member must be present during the scheduled reserved time. If the staff does not appear by fifteen minutes after the scheduled time, the reservation will be considered canceled, and the lab will be opened to for general usage.
6. We will not reserve more than 40 computers at any one time (one room).
7. The students in the Reserved Lab have to observe the same courtesy as the rest of the lab users. The lab assistant will remove any user who is disturbing other users in the lab.
8. It is the responsibility of the faculty/staff member making the reservation to check that software required for the session is operational on the machines being reserved. The GCA Lab coordinator will try to accommodate special requests, but reserves the right to decline depending on the impact it has on the workstations and the time involved in getting software installed.
9. No reservations are accepted for two weeks prior to final exams or during exam weeks.
10. Total reservations for each lab will not exceed the required open lab hours for the semester.
