Computer Labs

There are several computer labs located at various points around the St. Mary's campus that are available for student use. The lab located in Montgomery Hall contains Macintosh computers, while all other labs are running Windows XP. Baltimore Hall is a 24/7 hour lab through faculty/staff/student OneCard access after normal business hours.

Campus computer labs are for academic use; students waiting to do class assignments, papers, etc. take precedence over those using the computers for email, web-browsing, and unattended computers. Any individual causing a disturbance or failing to comply with the lab policies below or with the Appropriate Use Policy will be asked to leave the lab and be reported to the appropriate authorities.
