There are also computers in the Study Room (BAB 120), which are available Monday - Thursday 7:30 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. and Friday from 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. The computers in BAB 215, 211, and 214 use Microsoft Windows Vista with the latest version of most software titles we have available.

Following is a description of the network drives and their functions: N:\ DRIVE : Students may submit files to faculty from the labs by copying the files to faculty folders on the N:\ drive. You may have your students submit assignments to you in this manner in lieu of diskette or paper copies. You must first see me to set up one or more folders on these drives for you. S:\ DRIVE: Faculty can make files available to their students from all BAB computer labs by placing the files in the course folders available on the S:\ drive. (Please remove files in your course folders no longer needed. See the Director of CBA Network Support about setting up folders to support your classes for the upcoming terms.)

A faculty's U:\ drive folder is accessible only by each individual faculty member. V:\ DRIVE: The V:\ drive is a common drive that allows faculty, staff, and student assistants to exchange non-sensitive files with each other, without having to send email attachments. Anyone accessing the V:\ drive can read, write and delete to any of the folders and/or files. Please remove files from the V:\ drive folders no longer needed, as it should be used to store files temporarily. This folder is not accessible by lab PCs.
