Student Computer Lab

Supporting Students: Enhancing Creativity

Our computer lab is available to all currently enrolled UNT students, in support of their academic programs. The mostly widely used software applications used by students are available, as well as software titles required by our students to complete arts and design related course work. The computer lab staff is available to assist patrons in utilizing the equipment and services available and answer any questions. They are not permitted to assist a patron on their academic work.

Only one computer at a time may be assigned to a patron but a patron may be assigned to a computer and an additional “non-computer” workspace simultaneously, such as a computer and a 3D printer.
