Using the Computer Lab
All students are required to check-in at the reception desk. Use of a computer will be granted upon the presentation of a Valid  University ID card.
Computers are available on a first-come first-served basis. Moreover, the Lab will reserve some computers when formal classes are in session. Other than these caveats, all use of the lab depends on availability of equipment. 
A variety of programs (software) are available for use in the lab. These programs have been specifically configured for our computers and peripherals. No software may be copied to or from any PC without special permission from the Lab Coordinator. 
Data disks are required to use most software. The computers use 3.5 inch floppy disks for the storage of data.  Students may purchase blank diskettes at the McGill Bookstore or at the Media Center ( located on the 1st floor).
