The SLC Computer Classroom offers 24 computers (23 Dells running Windows Vista ) and one iMac. Of these computers, the iMac and one Dell computer are designated as instructor stations. A ceiling-mounted data projector is available to use in conjunction with the instructor stations. Instructors may also use their own laptops to connect to the data projector.

When the classroom is not being used by a group, computers are available for drop-in use.

SLC - Open Computer Lab Areas

In the open lab area of the SLC there are 57 computers available for instructor-led classes (reservations required) or for drop-in use on a first-come, first-serve basis.

• 35 Dell Computers running Windows Vista
• 22 iMacs running Mac OS X Leopard

All of the computers in the computer classroom and in the open computer lab areas are part of the U-M Campus Computing Sites network with an extensive set of installed software. Faculty may make additional software available for students by submitting software requests as outlined on the Software Requests page.  For more details about the SLC's computer configurations, please see our Hardware page. Information regarding SLC software can be found on our Software page. To learn more about reserving SLC computers, please see our Computer Reservations page.

Express Stations

The SLC offers four Express Stations with web and e-mail access. The software available on these computers is quite limited. The intent is to afford users the ability to quickly check their e-mail rather than wait for a lab computer to free up.
