General Purpose Computer Laboratories

ITS maintains the General Purpose Computer Labs available on most UWS campuses.

Some schools and units, such as the School of Computing and Mathematics, provide and maintain their own labs. You should contact those schools and units directly for information on their labs.

This page outlines the General Purpose Computer Lab facilities at UWS. There may be unavoidable minor changes to the information provided. The local IT Support Officer can answer questions you might have regarding General Purpose Computer Lab services. For phone support and enquiries, call the IT Service Desk on extension 5111 (02 9852 5111)

A list of installed software is available for staff access in the 'software library' Exchange email public folder.To request software for any labs, please complete the General Purpose Computer Lab Software Request Form (opens in a new window) (PDF, 276Kb). Forms are to be submitted by 31 October for the first semester of the  following year, and by 31 May for the second semester. More information on requesting software...

Colour Printing

ITS managed labs have monochrome (black and white) printing facilities. Colour printing is available via the UWS Library on each campus.

Lab hours

All ITS managed labs are open 22 hours per day (from 5:00 am till 3:00 am), seven days per week, unless otherwise advertised (eg, University Christmas close down, IT maintenance weekends, emergencies). The two hour closure in the early hours of each morning is used to maintain and update lab software.
