Computer Consultants: Each Open Access Computer Facility is staffed with qualified consultants who are trained to answer any software, general, or university questions while maintaining a professional and academic-friendly atmosphere in each computer facility. The computer lab team also offers employment opportunities with real-world applications and hands-on technology experience.

Campus Print: Utah State University allows you to print from your personal computer or laptop to lab printers or other printers dispersed across campus. Once you have sent print requests, they will be held in the queue for up to 12 hours and can be released from any of the 15 campus print release stations. This service works from any Windows or Macintosh computer connected to the wireless network that has the print drivers installed. The print drivers can be downloaded, and more information can be found at campusprint.usu.edu. 

4. Eligibility and Lab Admission Requirements

USU's Open Access Computing Facilities are funded, in part or in full, by a self-imposed fee paid by students at registration. Much of the hardware and software in the facilities has been made available by vendors for the educational use of students only. Because of these considerations, only verifiable USU students are entitled to use the facilities.

1. A user will be admitted to an Open Access Computing Facility when the user presents their USU ID card and is validated by the Aggie ID card reader.
2. Current USU Faculty/Teaching Staff will be admitted upon presentation of the user's own USU ID card, when space is available, for the purpose of developing class assignments that will require the use of the open access facilities.
3. No one will be admitted to a lab on any other form of ID, or for any other payment or consideration.
4. Students will be granted lab access two weeks before the beginning of the semester and two weeks after the end of their enrolled semester.
