PC Labs, Plug & Study Rooms (P&S)
IT-SERVICES operates six Plug & Study rooms (or PC labs, respectively) at two locations which can be used for courses, internal trainings and individual work by all WU members during opening hours.
Rooms on Campus
Please note the different configuration types:
Plug & Study rooms (P&S)
all have a monitor, keyboard and mouse that you connect to your own notebook ("BYOD" = bring your own device). You can use the software required for courses via the virtual PC labs (practice lab in particular).PC Labs
are equipped with one PC per workstation on site, including the software required for courses.
Teaching labs are primarily intended for courses, practice labs for individual work. Please consider that using the PC labs for teaching always has priority over using them for free practice.

Printing and Scanning
As a WU student, you hold a "Studentprint" printing account that enables you to make printouts and copies in the PC labs. Send your print jobs from any computer in the PC labs on the WU campus. In addition, you can scan documents electronically using the "printers" (i.e. multifunctional devices).
All active WU students receive a free credit1) of up to 50 pages (A4, b/w) at the beginning of each semester. They can check their printing credits online and add additional credit through electronic payment (see Manage Printing Account instructions).
1) Use of the free credit is subject to the Studentprint terms and conditions (pdf, German only).
Printing, copying, and scanning
You must log in to the multifunctional devices before you can use them. A convenient way of doing so is using an NFC-enabled medium (e.g. your student ID card, bank card, cell phone, etc.). The first time you use the NFC medium, you need to associate the medium with your printing account.
Important
Only the last medium associated with your account will enable you to use the printer.
You are solely responsible for handling as well as maintaining access to the registered NFC medium yourself. If you lose your NFC medium, you must promptly register another NFC medium with the printer to prevent misuse (as stated in the Studentprint terms and conditions).

Reservation of PC Labs
PC labs can be reserved for events that are not registered in the course catalog (VVZ) because they were applied for in the course of the semester. In this case, please use the Room Booking System ROOMS (also see ROOMS Booking Guidelines issued by the Teaching Coordination). Your reservation will be processed by IT-SERVICES and you will be informed by email about the further procedure.
If regular courses (i.e. courses that are registered in the course catalog) do not take place in the PC labs (e.g. due to postponements), please cancel the booking in ROOMS. Then these PC labs can be booked for other events.
