Student computer labs

There are three CBS computer labs (one on the Minneapolis campus, two on the St. Paul campus) supported by the CBS Information Technology Fee. CBS courses have first priority scheduling for all these labs, but when not in use by classes, the labs are available for individual CBS undergraduate student use. You can use the Office of Classroom Management Departmental Viewer to check when classes or other events are scheduled in the labs.

To reserve a computer lab for classes, send an e-mail to biolroomreserv@lists.umn.edu.
