Student Computing Facilities at UNT

By Eriq Neale, ACS General Access Lab Manager (neale@unt.edu)

This article first appeared in the September/October 1993 issue of Benchmarks (Vol. 14, No. 5, pg. 4)

The General Access Labs have been placed in strategic locations throughout the UNT campus. A list of labs and their locations is contained in the table on page 6. The hours that the labs are open vary from location to location. Lab hours can be found on the inside of the cover page of each issue of Benchmarks

All of these labs have a number of IBM compatible computers on which students can run WordPerfect and other PC software. A few of the labs, namely the Academic Computing Services (ACS), College of Arts and Sciences, College of Education, and Willis Library, also have Macintosh computers. The College of Education Lab also has a number of Apple II computers for students.

Special note should be made of the following General Access Lab rules. (Click here to view associated article on General Access Lab Policies.)

1. All students wishing to use a lab must have a valid UNT Student ID. Driver's licenses and meal cards will not be accepted.
2. Each student is guaranteed a minimum of one hour's use of a computer. If a lab has a waiting list, students in the lab will be asked to relinquish their computer if they have used it an hour or more. Those students may have their names put on the waiting list.
3. All student disks will be scanned for viruses in the labs.
4. No eating, drinking, or smoking is allowed in the lab facilities.
