Computer Labs

At Kean University, we understand the importance of preparing our students to meet the challenges of the Information Age and of providing them with the tools to take advantage of it. As a comprehensive interactive university, we strive to prepare our students to be equipped for a future of learning. 

The Miron Student Center Computer Lab is a state-of-the-art facility that offers 50 computer stations. All computers are loaded with Microsoft Office and offer network capabilities. The Miron Student Center Computer Lab is conveniently located in the Miron Student Center Atrium, Room 105. The Lab is open to all current Kean University students, faculty and staff.

The New Upper Class Computer Lab is a state-of-the-art facility that offers 15 computer stations. All computers are loaded with Microsoft Office and offer network capabilities. The New Upper Computer Lab is conveniently located in the first floor of the New Upper Class Residence Hall. The entrance to this Computer Lab is not part of the residence entrance which makes it available to all current Kean University students, faculty and staff.  

A current Kean University ID is required and must be submitted to lab attendants prior to the use of the facility. Computers are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and priority will be given to those completing academic assignments, research and organizational work. Student computer consultants and graduate assistants staff the labs.
