The staff maintain several instructional computing laboratories in GDC which are open to students in the department. You must have a UTCS account to access the machines in these labs. The labs are open to CS students 24 hours a day, 7 days a week except on holidays.  All CS students are eligible for an account, as are non-CS majors who are enrolled in a qualifying class. An account can be requested here. NOTE: Only CS majors have access to the building after hours on weekdays (after 10pm and before 7am) and on weekends. Non-CS majors with a CS account will not be able to use the labs at those times.
