In 2023-24 access to labs/class rooms will be activated on your OneCard. Please have it with you at all times while on campus.

The podium computer can be streamed to all the desktops in the AA1A, J208, J216, J220, and J319 labs. Select the Sheridan Podium Viewer icon in the dock while the professor is presenting.

We have Apple TVs in most classrooms. To connect, select the Apple TV (not always listed as such so you might have to do some trial and error with the HDMI inputs) on the list at the podium.
