Apply for IEOR Computer Account:

(Standard account is $20 which includes card-key access and printing of 250 pages per semester.)

The PC Laboratory are open to all students with a valid card-key AND an IEOR MS Windows domain account, while the Graduate Laboratory is open only to graduate students in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research. While the AUTOMATION Lab is open to students doing research with Professor K. Goldberg.

The card-key fee of 20 dollars per semester pays for laboratory supplies such as laser printer toner. Use of the laboratory by people without a card-key increases these costs and will result in higher card-key fees. DO NOT ADMIT PEOPLE INTO THE LABORATORY UNLESS THEY HAVE A CARD-KEY. Card-keys can take 3-5 days to activate. If you have difficulty, please see Joyce Levels in the IEOR Office. (Room 4141 Etcheverry Hall) Users must not share passwords.

The PC Laboratory is a teaching laboratory. This means that at various times it will be reserved specifically for a class. Notices will be posted outside the door showing the hours reserved for the current week and the week immediately to follow. During the hours the laboratory is reserved, the laboratory will be off limits to any student not in the applicable class. Please make sure to check these notices before entering the laboratory.
