The General Access Labs may be used by any University student, faculty or staff member. Some General Access labs are sponsored by departments and are located throughout campus.

Some of the computer labs which DoTS supports may be reserved for teaching and demonstration purposes. Use of a Teaching Computer Lab is appropriate when participants, as well as the presenter will be using computers. Each Teaching Lab is equipped with a teaching workstation and a projection unit and screen for displaying the presenter's computer screen.
The Teaching Labs are a wonderful resource for hands-on computer program training. Their use must be balanced, though, with the need for adequate general access computers for student use. For more information on this, see the Lab Reservation Policies.

There are several Computer Labs on campus which are built and maintained to support the instructional program of a particular department on campus. These Computer Labs are not open to the general student population and will have specialized software and hardware to support a specific curriculum. In general, students will be instructed in their classes if they have one of these labs as a resource. Some classes even meet regularly in these labs.

The residence halls on the UWRF campus are managed and maintained by UWRF DoTS. Each lab consists of 4 machines, except Hathorn which has 6 computers and Prucha which has 8 computers. Each computer is loaded with the same software.
