Economics Computer Labs

While Economics is located at the Elson building at 400 Brandon Ave in 2025, there is no dedicated Computer Lab space. However, computers available for general use are located inside rooms 150 and 150A, in the open area in section 160A, and in the open area in section 193.  An Eservices account (active enrollment) is required to log in to any of the computers.

Please keep the following in mind while using the lab computers:

  • All computers designated for grad student use are subject to being rebuilt and having user files deleted at any time without prior notice to users.
  • All files saved to these computers could potentially be viewed, copied, modified, or deleted by others.
  • No sensitive student data (names, Social Security numbers or other Personally Identifiable Information, grades, etc.) should be saved on these computers.
