Labs & Printing

SMSU offers hundreds of computers available for students to use in Curriculum-Related Labs and General Access Labs across campus. All lab computers are accessible with a StarID and password.

Software available in Labs
All of the computers in all of the labs have Microsoft Office 2016, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. The Macintosh computers in CH 128 have Adobe Creative Cloud and Office 2016 on the PC side. If you need to use a specific program, feel free to contact the TRC Helpdesk and ask about it. We may be able to install the program on the machines for you.
Network Storage
Every student has a 1GB S-Drive with their account. Log into the computers in our Computer Labs or Library, open Computer (My Computer) and you will see your personal S-Drive. This should be where you save your documents because the machines in the labs and library will delete any and all changes you make to the computer once it has rebooted. This includes all documents and settings. Your S-Drive is not located on the actual computer; it is stored on our servers, and therefore your documents saved here will not be deleted.
Printing
There are printers in all of the computer labs on campus and the Mini-Lab in Common West. There is a Colored Printer located on the main floor of the library. The mini-lab in Commons West has a printer, but students are required to supply their own paper if they want to print there.
Printing costs
There is a $25 print quota allowance for all students. If you use your quota, more pages may be purchased at the Technology Resource Center. To refill your quota, please contact the TRChelpdesk@SMSU.edu. You will be able to purchase more paper in increments of $5.00, using your Mustang Money. If you do not have money on your Mustang Money account, you must go to the Mustang Card Center, located above the Residential Restaurant on class days between 9 am and 6 pm. You can also add to your Mustang Money account online by clicking here. Please note that the online deposit option incurs a $1 convenience fee.
If you do not use your initial $25, it will not transfer to the next semester (you will start the next semester with a new $25 quota). However, if you use your initial $25 and purchase additional pages, those purchased pages will transfer to the next semester.
- Black-and-white (one-sided) $0.05
- Color (one-sided) $0.25
