Hours 
Monday to Friday
During Fall and Spring semesters, the lab will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and then from 7:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m..  During summer the lab will only be open from 8:00 to 6:00 p.m..  

Saturday, Sunday & Holidays
Right now the lab doesn't have a direct phone line, so please call the college's security office (phone no. 320-2368) to find out if the lab is open on these days. My work-study students are responsible for opening the lab over the weekends. The lab is closed when they are busy with other important things.

 Weekly Schedule
Before you disturb any classes in the lab, please check out our weekly computer lab schedule for open lab hours.  The schedule is posted every Monday on the lab door, the two Languages & Literature Office doors, outside Education Division, and on the bulletin boards in front of the Library and Admissions office.  You can also call (320-2480 Ext:6421) or email Harbert to find out what time the lab is open for students.  Lab will be open for students every Wednesday during Fall and Spring and every Friday during Summer.   This means that instructors cannot schedule their classes on these days. 

Note: Lab hours may change in response to student demand and on holidays.
