There is a $20 fee per year (July 1 - June 30).This fee will be charged to your CARS account in July for payment by August 15. Cash or check payments are not accepted per university guidelines. At the end of the fiscal year (June 30, 2013), all users will be deactivated. You have to register again for the next academic year if you choose to continue to use the computer lab.
You can register by filling out the required fields in the computer lab registration form. Please send the form to the Graduate Advisor by June 27, 2012.
