Public Computer Labs
The staff maintain several instructional computing laboratories in ENS and Painter Hall which are open to students in the department. You must have a UTCS account to access the machines in these labs. All CS students are eligible, as are non-CS majors who are enrolled in a qualifying class. An account can be requested here.
