PLEASE NOTE: No food or drink is allowed anywhere in the computer labs. There are no exceptions. This policy protects the equipment from damage and provides for a cleaner shared environment.

There are two computer labs available in the School of Social Ecology:

Social and Behavioral Sciences 4200 is our main instructional lab. When classes are in session, please use the SE 1, 306 computer lab.  You may find information about when the labs are occupied by checking online lab schedules, and the LCD screens located in the lobby of Social Ecology I and on the fourth floor of Social and Behavioral Sciences.

Apple M1 Silicon Chips

We are aware that Apple has released its new silicon M1 chip.  Currently it is being offered with the Macbook Air line of computers.  SE computing will be recommending staying with Intel based Apple computers for the time being.  The M1 silicon chip currently does NOT support a virtual Microsoft Windows 10 installation.  Which will hinder many of our users that require this feature via Boot Camp and or Parallels virtualization.

Computing Support Service Levels

Computing Services offers the following levels of support

  1. Standard Support: User(s) agree to use SE Computing as their only support to fully maintain their computer and agree to run the system with limited rights.
