Reserving CTC Labs

Reserving CTC Labs

The CTC TH123 Mac Computer Lab and CTC TH121 Pentium Computer Lab are available for reservation by current faculty and staff. If any FHSU club or organization wishes to reserve the lab, the club or organization sponsor must submit the request. Faculty or staff must submit a CTC Request for Services to reserve the lab. We are unable to schedule the labs without this request and you may not bring a group over to use any CTC lab without a reservation. You may have your secretary submit the request for you.

If viewing these instructions from the web (http://www.fhsu.edu/ctc/labs), you can find additional specific information about either lab by clicking TH123 or TH121. Please keep in mind that the TH121 Lab has a seating capacity of 28 workstations and one workstation for the instructor (at the front of the room) and the TH123 Lab has a seating capacity of 24 workstations and one workstation for the instructor (at the front of the room). Please comply with the room capacity and do not overbook. There are no extra chairs available for use in the room.

NO food, beverages, or tobacco products are allowed in the labs.

For security purposes and your protection, all three of the CTC computer labs are equipped with video surveillance cameras.

NO connection of personal laptops, zip drives, or other peripherals allowed in any of the CTC labs.

Users may not load any software in any of the CTC labs. If your class requires that special software be loaded, see the section Submitting a Request to Reserve Either Lab.
