Requesting Lab Reservations

Reservations Must be Scheduled One Week in Advance
Faculty members must submit their reservation requests no later than 12:00 noon on the Friday prior to the date for which they are requesting a reservation. The CAS General Access Computer Labs are funded solely through general student fees, so the students' ability to have access to the labs is of paramount importance. By having faculty schedule reservations a week in advance and posting reservation schedules no later than Monday mornings, students are able to schedule their work times in the CAS General Access Labs so that they do not conflict with that week's scheduled reservations. For this reason, last-minute reservation requests cannot be accepted.

To request a reservation in one of the CAS General Access Labs, you will need to provide the following information:

• Building and room number of the lab you want to reserve.
• Date reservation is needed.
• Starting time and length of reservation.
• Course number.
• Section number.
• Number of students in class.
• Instructor's name.
• Instructor's department.
• Instructor's email address.
• Instructor's office phone number.
• Type of computers needed (PC or MAC).
• Software to be used during reservation.

Please Note: Reservations are not scheduled in GAB 330 during Fall or Spring semesters. GAB 330 is the busiest of the CAS General Access Computer Labs, and scheduling reserevations in that lab would unfairly deny too many students access to a facility paid for with their fees.

Please send your reservation request via email to the CAS Lab Manager at labman@mail.cas.unt.edu. If your web browser is configured to send email, simply click on the email address listed. If your browser is not configured to send email, or if you are not sure, just use your favorite email program to send the request. Be sure to include in your reservation request all the information listed above -- incomplete requests cannot be considered. If your reservation request is approved, the Lab Manager will send a confirmation via email.

The CAS General Access Labs make every effort to ensure the lab is ready for your reservation, but we are not infallible. Therefore, it is the instructor's responsibility to check the lab prior to the reservation to confirm the following:

• make sure the reservation appears on the lab's reservation schedule
• make sure the software to be used during the reservation is present and functioning as expected
• make arrangements for any special equipment needed, such as overhead projectors or data projectors
Any problems should be reported to the lab manager as soon as possible.

Please note the following guidelines for reservations:

• Food and/or drinks are not allowed in the computer labs, and the instructor is responsible for making sure the class is aware of and adheres to this policy. If the lab monitor observes a student with food or drink, the lab monitor will ask the student to either remove it from the lab or place it in a book bag; any disturbance this causes to the class or the instructor is unavoidable.
• Please do not bring any markers to use on the marker boards in the lab. The lab is supplied with dry-erase markers which you can check out from the lab monitor.
• If a class is more than fifteen minutes late for a reservation without notifying the lab or lab manager, that reservation will be cancelled for that day and the lab will be opened for general use.
• Classes which fail to appear for a scheduled reservation without notifying the lab manager in advance may lose their privilege to schedule reservations in the future.
