Reserving Computer Labs

Requests for lab reservations must be made at least 2 weeks in advance. These requests can only be submitted by MCECS faculty and staff. You may have someone else in your department submit a request on your behalf. Schedule conflicts will be resolved by Departmental Chairpersons.

The Maseeh College student labs may be reserved as laboratories or for class meetings where the use of lab computers are an integral part of the session. They must not be used as a replacement for a lecture classroom space.

Labs may also be reserved for workshops, seminars, or events. A lab-usage fee is charged, based on the profit/non-profit status of the organization presenting the workshop.
