The Instructional Resources Center is here to provide students, faculty, and staff an opportunity to work in the best possible environment. We offer up-to-date computers, printers, and children’s book collection, as well as other educational print materials.
We are here to assist everyone in any way that we can. The staff of the IRC is committed to providing service with a smile. We look forward to serving you, and helping you meet your educational and career goals.
ITEC department reserves labs starting the first week after class schedules are released.
COE departments reserve labs starting the second week after class schedules are released.
Other departments reserve labs starting the fourth week after class schedules are released.
An announcement will be sent to each department stating when they may begin reserving labs for their classes. The IRC Coordinator will send this notice as soon as class schedules are released to the faculty.
