Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students who do not own a computer do not need to worry when it comes to their schoolwork. Student government operates a two-story computer lab, open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m (the second floor is closed on Saturday and Sunday). There is often a line, but generally it moves quickly, as each student is limited to one hour of usage when there are others waiting. Each student is allowed $2.50 of free printing per day. Utilization of the virtual disk is also recommended to reduce wait time. Virtual disk printing allows you to upload a file under your U-number, and then have it printed at the desk by swiping your student ID.

Additionally, there are a couple of labs in the residence hall areas. There are also computers available in the library for individual and group use, and you can even check out a laptop at no charge. The Marshall Center has a few computers on the first floor and in some study rooms, but you cannot print from these. All dorms have hookups for the high speed Ethernet, and the entire campus has Wi-Fi access.

Having free printing in the marshall center is absolutely fantastic!! However, it would be a lot more helpful if the same thing happened in the library. Also there are so many computers and printers that it is so easy to get school work done! The internet and resources are always extremely up to date!

Fast Server Speed and Free Prints!

When living on campus at USF, I had great internet reliability. Now that I have moved off campus, I can visit the library or computer lab any time I want and get great service at these locations. The technology group at USF is great! Just this year, they redid the computers so logging on is fast and easy. And don't forget about the free 22 prints we receive every day!
