WEPA allows you to send your print jobs from on or off-campus to the cloud and then release the print job at any of the kiosks. You can send your print job from your desktop, laptop, or iOS/Android device. Or you can print from your USB key at a kiosk. One sided or duplex printing options in color or black and white are available. The print stations are available in the computer labs.
OIT has an option of "virtual computer labs" please see:

There is only one computer lab available in the School of Social Ecology starting Fall 2021:
Social and Behavioral Sciences 4200 is our main instructional lab. When classes are in session, please use the OIT labs as an alternative. You may find information about when the labs are occupied by checking online lab schedule.
Software in our labs include: Windows 10, Adobe Acrobat (reader), Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access), Firefox, Microsoft Edge, ArcGIS, SPSS, SAS, Stata, AtlasTi (15 users at a time on any lab computer) and MPlus (5 users at a time on any lab computer).
Installation of software on any Social Ecology lab PC is prohibited. These machines have been set up to meet the needs of all classes and graduate students. Please check the Open Access OIT lab schedule for software available in their labs.
Other Computing Labs: Office of Information Technology (OIT) has an open access lab in the Social Science tower. This is the closest lab to our School. For more information, please check out UCI Open Access Labs.
Learn more about accessing the labs after hours.
If you encounter problems with printing, printers need more paper, or would like to report broken equipment, please email us se.computing@uci.edu or call 824-8202 for service (voice mail).
Social Ecology is no longer offering poster printing for graduate students due to availability of viable alternatives in and around campus.
Listed below are some suggested alternate poster facilities. Please use these facilities if you require poster printing of any kind.
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.
Campus is now supplying Adobe software licenses and no longer the school.
Please start by going to https://www.oit.uci.edu/adobe and requesting a license. Without this, you will be stuck with a trial license. Computing cannot issue the license it is a self-service process now.
*UCI licensed software maybe installed by SE Computing. If issues arise during installation from other software issues i.e. computer is out of date with updates, other software(s) need updating. User will need to address those issues first in order to complete installations*
