Faculty Computer Labs

UTS General Access Computing Facilities have faculty specific software available on their machines for students to access and use according to your course. Lecturers will usually advise you if the software is located on these machines.

Some faculties operate their own computer facilities with specialised software. Faculty labs are available to those students enrolled in courses run by the respective faculty. Some faculties allow you to use e-mail and access the World-Wide Web from their labs. While others only offer word processing applications, so check with your faculty or lecturer for more information.
