Computer Labs

ESF has over 200 computers available in computer labs and common spaces at multiple campuses as well as a virtual lab that that is available 24/7 and accessible remotely. Instructions for connecting to the virtual lab can be found at https://it.esf.edu/Access/Remote-Labs.

At the Syracuse campus there is an open computer lab in Baker and on the main floor of Moon Library. The Baker computer labs are open the same hours as the Help Desk. Current hours are on https://www.esf.edu/computing and posted outside of the Baker 317 Help Desk. The main floor of Moon Library is open during library hours which can be found at https://www.esf.edu/library/hours.php.

What You Need to Know Before Using a Computer

•  All public PCs at ESF require users to login using their ESFiD username and password; when asked, enter this information to gain access to public computing resources at ESF.

•  All public PCs are regularly erased, including user files. Do note store your data on the computers. Store files in OneDrive. For large files that get used with specialized programs (GIS, CAD, etc.), it is recommended that you download or move the file from OneDrive to the computer's desktop or C drive prior to working. Once you have finished working, move the files back into OneDrive.
