Computer Lecture Room
There are three computer lecture rooms on the Seoul Campus and four on the Anseong Campus.

Since classes are held in the computer lecture room, students can use the desktop only between the classes in these rooms. Therefore, for using a desktop in a computer lecture room, students must get permission from the manager. Students can visit or inquire about the available times. On the Seoul campus, you can visit the Open Computer Room at the Law School Bldg (303) or call 02-820-6420, and on the Anseong campus, you can visit the 2132 on the first floor at College Foreign Language (801) or call 02-820-3501.

Then, you must scan the checked application form and send it to the manager's mail. The manager’s mail adress is lbhwwr@cau.ac.kr for Seoul Campus, and restart@cau.ac.kr for Anseong campus.

The Rules for Bringing a Desktop onto CAU
Students who do not have a laptop or need to use a personal desktop for assignments can register their personal desktop on campus. As CAU IT Help Desk notify, in order to bring a personal desktop to campus, students should report their desktop to the relevant departments, to prevent controversies such as copyright disputes caused by illegal software use and for efficient personal desktop management. The reporting procedure is to fill in “personal PC register” downloaded from the website. You should then submit the document to the college or administrative office in the area where you want to bring your personal desktop. There are precautions when bringing personal desktop onto campus. First of all, a desktop with illegal software (SW) installed cannot be brought onto campus. If illegal SW is installed on a personal PC, it will be taken out to the campus as soon as it is detected. Second, illegally download files cannot be downloaded to a personal desktop brought onto campus. If you have any of these files on your desktop, you must remove all illegal files before bringing your personal desktop to campus. Third, SW provided by CAU should be downloaded only to school owned desktops. Therefore, you should not download software provided by CAU to your personal desktop. Finally, you must download the essential SW program required by CAU on the desktop you want to bring onto campus. For your reference, when bringing in another desktop other than a personal desktop or a desktop owned by CAU, you must download and fill out the "Pledge to Use Genuine SW" from the website and submit it to the college or administrative office in the area you want to bring in. For other inquiries, contact Seoul Campus 02-820-6146 and Anseong Campus 02-820-3501.
