Due to ongoing COVID-19 safety concerns, our team will attempt to remotely resolve your issue as quickly as possible.

Features
The University of Colorado Boulder provides teaching and learning computing labs in support of the Office of Information Technology’s primary academic mission. OIT manages many of these sites in order to maximize the University's investment in computing resources and make computing tools accessible to students. Our goal is to deliver operational labs for the largest possible number of students by providing reliable computing platforms with a full set of basic functions (communications, document generation, etc.). In addition, system functionality can be extended by including discipline-specific tools where appropriate, practical, and technically supportable.
