Open Computer Labs
The Open Computer Labs at the Katy and Spring Branch campuses provide key technology support for our students to support student success as well as the online enrollment and registration process. Lab personnel also provide training opportunities for students and faculty as well as manage group technology learning spaces at both locations.
