Computer Labs: Locations and Software

Summary

Information on Refreshing labs on campus

Body

A refreshing computer is a computer that discards all changes that the user makes when they log off.  Refreshing computers provide a more stable environment in high-traffic areas.  Because all changes made to the computer are discarded on log off, any permanent changes need to be applied by ITS.

Instructor Stations

Instructor Stations are like refreshing computers generally in front of the room for Faculty and Staff to use.

When you log out of the macOS  Refreshing Instructor Stations, any changes to the user space (Desktop, Downloads Folder, Web Browser History, User Preferences) are discarded. 

macOS Refreshing Instructor Stations also refresh the entire Macintosh HD around 1 a.m. The macOS Refreshing Instructor Stations receive new or updated software packages when the computer is logged out of. To request a change to Refreshing Lab Computers, please contact the Help Desk.
