Lab Hours of Operation

Undergraduate labs (CSC 105, 121, 125, 129, 153, 159, 167, 219; CAB 311) are open and available for use 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during the fall and winter terms. However, the main doors to the various buildings (CAB and CSC) are not controlled by the Department of Computing Science. So while students are free to use the labs at any time during fall and winter terms, the outside doors to the buildings are locked at night and on holidays. Students need to make their own arrangements in these circumstances. It is not the responsibility of the lab admin staff to help students gain access to the buildings when they are locked.

What to do if a lab is locked

Sometimes labs which are normally unlocked, are locked. Either labadmin has intentionally locked the lab for maintenance or someone else has accidentally locked it. If labadmin is doing maintenance there will be a notice on the door with an explanation and contact information. In addition if the maintenance is scheduled there will be an email notice sent prior to the closure. If a lab is locked without explanation, please contact the Help Desk and we will try to resolve the problem as quickly as we can.

Normal System Outage Period

During the fall and winter terms students can expect the undergraduate systems to be available on a 24x7 basis except for:

Wednesday mornings from 9:00 am to 1pm

This time period is reserved for system administration functions which include updating the operating system on each workstation and server. This requires a reboot in some instances. Students are welcome to use lab machines during this period but they should be aware that the machine they are working on may be rebooted during this period.

Other Rooms and Room Booking

Meeting, conference, and breakout rooms are available to be reserved by computing faculty, staff and grad students in both the Computing Science Centre (CSC) and Athabasca Hall (ATH).

=============================
Room Booking for Graduate Students
=============================
At the moment, there is no easy way to set up permissions so that graduate students can book rooms directly. Graduate students who need access to a room can either ask their supervisor or send an email request to csaccess@ualberta.ca to book the room for them.
