Reserve a hands-on computer lab
Reservations for the upcoming semester are due two months prior to the beginning of the semester.
Reservations can be made at any time. Those reservations made prior to the deadline are processed first. UMass Boston academic programs lasting the entire semester get first priority followed by short term reservations (i.e., for one month only) and then workshops for students. Grant funded programs not directly related to the students enrolled in the University meeting the deadline will be processed next. Any reservations regardless of program status received afterwards are filled on availability and first-come first-served basis.
Reservations can be made by submitting the General Use Labs Reservation Form or by sending an email to GULMgr@umb.edu. Reservations made through email must contain the information in the required fields of the reservation form.
We are using MS Office XP in our Windows XP Professional labs and MS Office 2001 in our Macintosh OS9.2.2 labs. Divison of IT supports a variety of software packages in the Public Use Labs. By supported we mean software that is licensed, installed and upgraded by Divison of IT. Please refer to Hardware & Software for an up-to-date list. Academic departments may provide software to be loaded onto the network through prior arrangements with Divison of IT. All software installed on the networks or hard drives must be licensed for the appropriate number of stations in the lab. The Assistant Director of Academic Computing MUST keep a copy of the license agreement on file. If you intend to use software installed on the networks or hard drives during a previous semester, you must call to verify that the software is still available by contacting Donna Hill at 617-287-5265 for Windows software or Brian Butler at 617-287-5240 for Macintosh software.
Feel free to contact the General Use Labs manager if you have any questions or comments.
