About Computer Lab Proctors

How computer lab proctors can help you

IT Services employs Student Lab Proctors to assist us in maintaining our computer labs. A Lab Proctor’s duties include:

  • Repairing non-functional systems.
  • Maintaining student lab pay printers.
  • Assisting with network login problems.

While doing their work, Proctors will strive to minimize interruptions in the lab. Please remember that they, like you, have a job to do. If needed, do not hesitate to ask them for assistance.
