Lab Reservations
Faculty and Staff members, as well as students, may use University labs for classes, presentations, testing, etc. Faculty may submit problems with lab conditions such as lighting, temperature, speed of connection, etc. to the Lab Manager.
Faculty may view a current calendar of labs reserved for instruction and should view prior to submitting reservations. Reservations must be made online. Reservations are scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Labs must be reserved well in advance, preferably 2 weeks prior to the date you need it. Do not make reservations for more than a year in advance.
If you would like to cancel your reservation, please send an email to the lab manager.
In the request the following information will be needed:
- Requesters name, email, phone, department
- Lab requested
- Number of students to use the lab
- Any special needs (projector, ADA station, zoom text software)
- If a Lab assistant should be on duty
- Times the lab is to be reserved
- Any Software needs
- Organization
Other Information
Some instructions use specialized software. If the software you want to use is not available from the SHSU Installation menu, you can make a software request using the Sam Portal.
If the software is available, you should provide specific instructions to your students if you expect them to do well. You should include as much detail as possible, and most importantly, review your instructions BEFORE distributing them to your students.
A Note on Lab Assistants
The Computer Lab Assistants staff is made up of students. Their role is to give general assistance, not to tutor. Lab Assistants are available to assist users with hardware and software problems within the labs. They cannot help students with assignments or homework; however they can be quite useful in your classroom to help troubleshoot any hardware or software problems you or your students may encounter during class.
If no lab assistant is on duty between the hours of 8am and 5pm, please contact the Lab Manager: Kayla Stephenson at x43062. For all other hours, please contact the Helpdesk at 294-1950.
