Virginia Wesleyan University provides computer resources throughout the campus. These resources are for student use in academic pursuits as governed by our acceptable use policy. There are five computer labs located in Blocker Hall, Clarke Hall and the Library.
All of the computer labs have the latest Microsoft Windows 7 operating system, and it is usually easy to find an open spot in one of the labs. For complete lab listing please see the table below. Some of our labs are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Each student receives a network and email login which grants them access to the computers in the lab, allows them to print and enables them to access 5GB of their own personal network storage space, and is also available from any network-connected computer on campus.
| Lab Location | Hours | Computers |
|---|---|---|
| Blocker Hall Room 20 | 8 AM – 11 PM | 3 |
| Clarke Hall Room 100 | 24 Hours | 8 |
| Library | Same Hours as the Library (except for the 24/7 lab) |
