611 Lab Reservation Utilization Policy

The 611 lab is available to Instructors for demonstration purposes on a limited basis. Instructors may reserve the lab through the Public Folder on Outlook by submitting a meeting request. To log in using the link above, please precede your user name with fc\. Once the request has been approved, it will be visible on the calendar. The number of students needing to use the computer labs increases each semester, as does the number of courses requiring computer use. In order to maximize availability the following provisions are in place:

• Instructors may reserve the 611 lab on a first-come, first-served basis, 1 hour per section per week, not to exceed 6 hours per section per semester. As long as there are no conflicting requests, instructors may be allowed reserve for longer periods and/or more frequently. As the number of instructors and classes wishing to utilize this limited resource increases, more conflicting requests will occur. In this event, reservations in excess of the above limit may be modified.
• As the number of classes desiring to use the lab increases, it may be necessary to decrease the number of times per semester the lab can be reserved.
• 611 reservations for the following year are accepted beginning July 1st of the current year.

Students using the 611 lab as a class will be charged for printing.

Please call Campus Safety to open the room for you.
