Computer Laboratories

General Information about the Computer Labs:
students in computer lab
Current MJC students may use MJC computer labs. Non-MJC students may not use the labs. (This isn't because we're being stingy; it's actually a legal issue.) For non-MJC students who wish to use the online registration system to enroll in classes at MJC, there are computers in the Student Center (East Campus) specifically for that purpose. The computer lab facilities should be considered a special type of classroom, and should not be used for recreation (i.e. any purpose not related to MJC classwork).
The Game Room in the Mary Stuart Rogers Student Center (West Campus) contains, in addition to a pool table and arcade games, several computers that students may use for personal email, online chat, shopping, MySpace, and all other non-academic computing.
All MJC Computer Labs have high-speed Internet connection. The computers are fully loaded with a variety of applications such as the Microsoft Office Suite (which includes Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint), and other programs. Specialized programs designed specifically for Business, Music, Agriculture, and Basic Skills can be found in The PLACE, Music Lab, Agriculture Lab, and Center for Learning Assistance (CLA).
