CAS Computing Services Group


Computer Labs

CSG manages two computer labs for classroom use: room 327 and room 330. Both labs have projectors, as well as printers. Computers in both labs have basic productivity software installed, as well as other software packages depending on the scheduled courses.

Reserving for class
327 is scheduled by the University Registrar.
330 can be reserved through our calendar website.

Software installation
Please make software requests as early as possible. We require a minimum of 2 weeks to install software in our labs. Once the software is installed, please make an effort to stop by and test it before class.

Card Access
Students registered for class may request card acccess to our labs for the hours of 8am - 10pm, 7 days a week.
To get access, stop by our office in room 330 during business hours (9am-5pm) and bring your BU ID.

Printing
All CAS students are provided with an initial print quota. To use our printing system, you must link your account to the AD domain. Both 327 and 330 have printers.
