Microcomputer Labs
Welcome!
Shippensburg University offers 4 public computer labs available to all students, faculty and staff. In addition, there are nearly 40 departmental computer labs that support the many academic programs available on our campus. The Microcomputer Labs provide a quick, easy and convenient way for members of the campus community to access computer and Internet services.
The public labs that are maintained by the Computing Technologies Center include MCT 054, Grove 106/108, Shippen 240 and Lehman Library 112. Throughout the year, MCT 054 is open for use 24-hours a day. Other lab schedules vary, but maintain many hours of availability for the convenience of all our students. Lab schedules may be modified over the summer. Please check the individual lab schedules, as labs are also frequently reserved for classes and therefore may be temporarily closed for public use.
