Reserving A Computer

The college has installed software on the computers in the Upper Refectory and the Library to allow students to reserve a computer in advance.

The software (MyPC) allows students to view the availability of computers and book them online using a web based interface. The option to do this is available from your START menu.

Bookings can only be made in college, but can be made from any computer with web access.

To enable fair access for all students, there are restrictions on the number of bookings that can be made in advance and how much time you are allowed per day and per week. If you need to extend an existing booking or need extra time, please contact the IT Helpdesk or the Library staff (for Library computers only).

Making a Booking
Only the student making the booking will be allowed to log on to the computer that has been reserved. The computer is only held for a set period of time and after that time the booking is released to other users.

To avoid disappointment of not being able to access a computer, you are advised to plan your week’s work and reserve computers as appropriate

You are also advised to cancel any bookings that you do not require, to avoid showing up in the ‘no shows’ report.
