Overview
The CS department's Teaching Labs provide computing support for courses in Computer Science. You will need this account in CSC121 for when you want to work in the Bahen labs.
Note that the Computer Science Department is in the process of renaming these labs. You may see "CDF" or "Computing Disciplines Facilities" in some of the documentation. This is the old name for the Computer Science Teaching Labs.Your Teaching Labs account and password
There is an Introduction For New Students Using the Computer Science Teaching Labs. We recommend that you at least skim it. Here are two essentials:
- To use the labs, you will need to know your Teaching Labs username and password. If you entered an email address in ACORN/ROSI, the details will have been sent there. If not (or if you've forgotten) you can use the Teaching Labs Account Management to reset your password.
- For any technical issues related to the Teaching Labs, please see this Contact page on how to contact the Teaching Labs' staff. However, before you do so, please first go over the Teaching Labs Frequently Asked Questions. You will most likely find an answer to your question in this FAQ!
Doing your work in the Teaching Labs
Here is a list of Teaching Labs lab rooms: BA2200, BA2210, BA2220, BA2240, BA2270, BA3175, BA3185, BA3195 and BA3200.
You are welcome to use any of the Teaching Labs labs for your course work, as long as they aren't reserved for a particular course. You have access to the Bahen Centre ("BA") and our Teaching Labs 24 hours a day.
To enter one of the labs you will need to swipe your T-Card through the card reader that is installed outside of each door. You can also use your T-Card to get into the building itself during off hours.

In order to access the Teaching Labs remotely using your own computer, you will need to install additional software, called NX client software, on your computer. The Teaching Labs website provides detailed instructions. To view these instructions, you will need to enter your Teaching Labs account name and password.
