===== Reservation of computer labs =====

Please see [[:drift:stud:timeplaner]] for information about reservation of our computer labs.
To make a reservation, please send an email to <drift@stud.math.ntnu.no> containing:

  * When
  * What (The name and code of your course)
  * How many (the number of students you expect to be using the labs)

Students from other departments will need to get a computer account before they can
use our lab. If your course has non-IMF students, please collect a list of all
these students' user names and send to <drift@stud.math.ntnu.no> before the first
lab exercise.

Students that haven't got a NTNU user name yet, must first obtain this from
[[http://www.orakel.ntnu.no/|Orakeltjenesten]] before we can create a user account
for them.

Other things to think about at the start of each semester.
