Computer Labs

The College of Business has two computer labs for undergraduate student use. These labs are located on the ground floor of the Lowder Business Building in rooms 012 and 013.

Room 012 houses the Finance Department's TIGER Lab - Trading, Investing, & Global Economic Research Lab. The TIGER Lab was made possible through a generous gift from Raymond and Kathryn Harbert of Birmingham. This laboratory is a state-of-the-art investment and trading classroom complete with an array of computer hardware, as well as real-time and simulation financial software. It has 42 workstations with one of these being a dedicated Bloomberg Terminal.

Room 013 houses Lab 013. This is a general use undergraduate computing lab. It has 31 workstations with one of these being a dedicated scanning terminal.

These labs are generally available from 8:00AM until 11:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and from 1 p.m. until 11p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

The College of Business Instructional Computer Labs, TIGER Lab and Lab 013, enhance classroom instruction in which technology is important. These instructional computer labs have two primary purposes: (1) in-class demonstration, and (2) the lab portion of the class. The preference is that the instructors of classes not require more than 20% of a class schedule time during the teaching day of 7:45 a.m. through 5:30 p.m. When two instructors request the room at the same time, such as at the beginning of a term, neither instructor may use his/her total 20% as a block, but must distribute his/her time so as to share the room between the two instructors. Instructors requiring more time than the guideline, must wait until others have had the opportunity to schedule the room. After that time, that instructor may schedule extra time on a weekly basis.

Instructors, Department Heads or Departmental Office Administrators may request to schedule lab usage. Instructors should strive to schedule the room as far ahead as possible, but no further than two terms in the future. Priority will be on a first-come basis. Informal, ad hoc, use of the lab for instruction is acceptable when the schedule permits. Departments may prioritize classes internally. Any request for usage of the labs, from outside of the College of Business, is subject to approval on a case-by-case basis (fees will be accessed).

Instructors are responsible for supervising students in the labs at all times. A lab monitor is available to assist with any technical problems. Network and Media Services provides paper and toner cartridges, that is paid through a charge of 6¢ per page.
