Lab Resources
Business students have access to Business labs from Monday to Saturday on a first-come, first-serve basis. When using the lab for the first time each semester, all students must present their MDID card and a paid schedule to register at the front desk. For subsequent visits, the student MDID card will be sufficient. Lab users must also show their MDID card to check out at the front desk before they leave. All distributed materials will be collected at this time.
Although it is not a requirement, it is expected that users of the lab have taken an introductory computer course or have some prior knowledge of computers. Lab assistants are on duty to assist students in the maintenance and upkeep of the hardware and software in use.
Tutors are provided for Statistics, Economics, and Accounting. Videos and Audios are available for other business classes.
