There are a number of printers allocated for students, staff, and faculty to use. These printers can not only be used on lab machines, but they can also be mapped to personal computers and devices in use by students when connected to the CS Department network.

Every student, faculty member, and staff member is given an allocated space in which they can store their files, and access them between physical lab machines, VCLab, and Windows/Linux operating systems. This space can also be mapped to personal computers and devices when connected to the CS network.
