About the ITS Computer Labs
ITS computer labs — which include Academic Technology Centers and CoLabs— are open to all NYU students in degree or diploma programs, NYU faculty and staff, and Lab Access Account holders. For information about obtaining such an account, please see ITS Accounts. Please bring your NYUCard with you, as you will be required to swipe it when you enter either type of lab. Note that NYUHome Stations and computers at ITS labs now require you to log in with your NetID and password prior to use.
ITS Academic Technology Centers offer specialized and advanced technology resources and assistance for your course-related work and research. These include high-end Macintosh and Windows systems, laser printers, DVD drives and related equipment, a wide variety of up-to-date software, and high-speed connections to the Internet, and NYURoam wireless access. Additional resources at the two large, modern technology centers include flatbed scanners; audio, video, and image editing; web and print publishing; and staff to assist students in the use of the labs and other ITS resources.
ITS' CoLabs are designed for student collaboration, where you can use a public computer or bring your own, and work individually or with others. In addition to NYURoam wireless access, the CoLabs offer public computers (dual-boot Mac and Windows) with web browsers, Microsoft Office software, and high-speed connections to Internet resources; laser printers; and areas for individual and collaborative work.
In addition to the physical locations, ITS now offers a Virtual Computer Lab, available wherever you use your computer; see below for details.
