Help Desk Opening Times

NOTE:

1. Strictly speaking, the opening times listed in table 1 above refer to the times when users are permitted to log into the workstation consoles in the labs. This presumes that:
   • the user can gain physical access to the workstations in the lab.
   • the user has the appropriate permissions (usually determined by class membership) to use the workstations in the lab.
     
     
   Labs with restricted physical access generally require swipe-card access at certain times of the day (possibly all day). General purpose labs in the ElecEng/MechEng/Old Main Buildings are in FREE access (no swipe-card access required) from 08:00 to 19:00 Mon-Fri only. Consult swipe access for more details.
   
   
2. The only exception to the student lab opening times listed above is the banjo and oud lab, which are considered special labs made available on a 24 hour basis. The labs are available to CSE Thesis students. Thesis students should:
   • See Thesis accounts page on how to obtain a thesis account.
   • Access is issued automatically to students enrolled in thesis classes at the start of each session. See the Help Desk's webpage on swipe access

3. All labs except the thesis lab are closed during the University shutdown period from Christmas Day to the New Year's Day public holiday inclusive.
