Lab Reservations Policy

Labs with an instructor's station at the front of the room may be reserved for hands-on class instruction. Any use of a computer lab to hold class must be scheduled in advance. All general* lab reservations will be coordinated through the Assistant to the Chief Information Officer (x.7200). The ITS Operations Manager is responsible for monitoring usage loads in the labs and has the authority to make exceptions to the normal lab scheduling policy. Requests for reconsideration of any decision made by the ITS Operations Manager should be presented to the Chief Information Officer.

Each instructor will be permitted to schedule their class in the computer labs for up to a maximum of one half of the total number of their class hours in the term. Class periods may not be partially scheduled except in the January term.

While this policy permits instructors to schedule consecutive days or even weeks in the lab, instructors are encouraged to be sensitive to the needs of others and be willing to compromise in scheduling labs. Anyone who is in a lab when a scheduled class period begins is expected to leave. The instructor can make exceptions, but this practice is generally not to be encouraged.

-----
*Special department labs are scheduled through the respecitive departments. If you are unsure who schedules which lab, the Assistant to the Chief Information Officer will help you contact the correct person.
