Computer Labs

The Orillia campus has two computer labs for students to use. Brand new computers with 17-inch LCD flat screen monitors are loaded with office productivity software and course-specific applications. Full access to high-speed internet is included at each computer, which comes equipped with a DVD/CD-RW optical drive, a floppy drive, 8 USB ports and front-access audio jacks for headphones and microphone. Students are encouraged to use USB flash drives to store data, and these are available for purchase from our bookstore.
 
High-speed laser printers are located in each computer lab and are accessible to every student with a valid ID and password. Students can also send colour print jobs from any computer on campus and pick them up in the library. Printing costs are controlled through a print credit system. Students receive an initial $3.00 worth of print credits which can be used for black & white laser prints at 8¢ per page or for colour laser prints at 50¢ per page.  They can buy additional print credits at the circulation desk in the library.
 

Learning Assistance Lab


Catering to the diverse needs of every individual student we welcome into our campus, Lakehead University strives to accommodate the learning requirements of everyone through the availability of assistive devices and specialized computer hardware and software.

Located in the Student Services office, the Learning Assistance Lab has four computers with ample room to study and do research. Every attempt has been made to make available the latest in assistive technology. If you have a particular preference or suggestion on how we can make your learning experience even better, please let us know.
