Computer lab hours vary and are posted each term. Southwestern has several instructional computer labs and one lab that is open for student use on a “drop in” basis. The open computer lab has IBM-compatible hardware and a variety of software. The Internet is accessible in the open lab and enforced access restrictions apply. Computer labs are also available in Gold Beach and Brookings Southwestern facilities.

Instructional Computer Labs Mission

The Instructional Computer Labs support the College mission statement by providing computer access and support for all students. This support includes providing assistance to students with technical skills, software techniques and proctoring computer tests. The Computer Lab Assistants also provide support to faculty by keeping computerized classrooms functioning and current software loaded. The Assistants are also kept updated by faculty on assignments given to the students so that they can provide help to the students as needed. This support is given to all faculty and students at Southwestern Oregon Community College.
