Labs on Campus

ECU has several labs on campus.

Access to some curriculum computer labs may be restricted by program area, and/or the student's year of enrolment.


It is strongly recommended to save all files to a cloud storage solution such as Microsoft OneDrive, or an external storage device. Files that are saved locally on the lab computers will be removed within one day to 21-days.
