We have designed this web site to assist you in using the computer labs available at St. Joseph's College.
We request that you follow the guidelines below to make your computing practices at St. Joseph's both productive and enjoyable.

St. Joseph's College currently has six computer labs in the McEntegart Hall Library. Lab 203 is located on the second floor. Labs 302, 303,  304 are located on the thrid floor and labs 402, 405 on the fourth floor.  For more information about what software is in which lab, check out our Software Information.

St. Joseph's College currently has Smart Classrooms in the STVH, MCE, and SAH buildings. The Smart Classrooms consist of a computer, DVD/VCR player, receiver and speakers.

At any "Open Lab" time, faculty & staff may come in and use the computer labs. These times and scheduled classes are posted outside of each lab. Each open lab is equipped with a color flatbed scanner and a color deskjet printer for your use.

Open Labs during the weekend and non-scheduled Reserved Classes are also published outside of each computer lab. You can also view our lab schedule on this site.

In general, logging in to a computer is as simple as typing the username, which is student and clicking ok (there is no password to log in).

Faculty & staff may reserve a computer lab for a class session contact Yulinda Soto at ysoto@sjcny.edu.  Or if a faculty member would like one on one training, contact Yvette Findlayter at yfindlayter@sjcny.edu

Faculty & staff are welcomed and encouraged to take one or more Instructional Computing Workshops which are offered at various times throughout the semester. For more information, check out the St. Joseph's Faculty and Staff Technology Training page.

Software may be requested by instructors to be installed on our computer labs prior to the start of each semester. If the request for additional software is being made during the semester, you must contact the lab administrators at labs@sjcny.edu at least two weeks in advance. During the semester, additional installs are handled on a case-by-case basis.

Printing is free, however, please try and conserve the paper (help save a tree). Use your programs Print Preview function to make all corrections prior to printing final copies.

Food and beverages are NOT permitted in the computer labs at any time.

Always save important files and documents to a floppy disk.

             IMPORTANT: The 2nd Floor lab in MCE does NOT have a floppy drive. If you would like to save your work, please bring a CD-RW or a Flash Drive. Our computers systems will reverse any changes made to the system upon each restart. This will include any files you have saved to the hard drive.

When purchasing floppy disks, please try to obtain those with a plastic slide rather than metal. Metal slides tend to become dented and bent and therefore are more prone to breaking off in the floppy drive. Not only does this damage the computer, it puts you files and documents in jeopardy.

Even though most disks come preformatted, it is a good idea to reformat them prior to use.
