Get additional support and access to software applications
The COS Computer Lab provides additional support to students enrolled in COS courses by offering access to various software applications used in class. Each computer is equipped with programs such as VMware, Microsoft Office, and other tools required for COS computer courses (including COSN, CS, COSP, COSS, COSW, and COSA).
Please note: Software for courses outside the COS department is not available in this lab.
