Computing Workstations in Unity Labs

Unity labs are equipped with Windows, Unix and Macintosh workstations. All of them provide access to your Unity network file space, word processing software, Web browsers and a wide variety of other applications. The Web browsers can be used to access the Internet and to check your email at http://webmail.ncsu.edu.

For more help with workstations at NC State, see these individual guides.

Please note that print quota is no longer available at Talley Student Center. The minimum purchase is $5, and black and white printing is six cents per sheet, while color printing is $0.60 per sheet.

Logging Out

Remember to always log out of your account when you finish a computing session. If you don't log out, others will have access to your account, file space, print quota and email.

Log out by typing logout at the unity% prompt on a Unix workstation or by clicking on the Logoff icon on the desktop screen for Windows or Macintosh workstations.
