The HKIN Computer Lab is a facility designated for the exclusive use of Human Kinetics students, faculty and staff. It is located on the lower level of War Memorial Gym in room 120. The lab provides access to the Microsoft Office suite of programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) as well as Internet access. The lab is comprised of 24 Windows/Intel-based computer workstations. Greyscale Laser printing is provided at a cost of five cents per page. Print cards can be purchased in the main office, Room 210.

computer lab hours
The lab is generally open from 9:00am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday. There are times when the lab is booked for weekly HKIN course laboratories. During these times the lab is only available to students scheduled for that session. All other students will be asked to leave. The lab may also be closed for special course bookings or for maintenance and repairs.

Course bookings and TA schedules are posted on the lab door at the beginning of each term.

technical support
Technical support for the computer lab is provided by a full-time Systems Analyst and by graduate student TA’s. The Systems Analyst’s office is located in room 120A, within the computer lab. Students requiring technical assistance with use of the computers or software should first direct their questions to the TA, and when the TA is not available they may consult with the Systems Analyst. If the Systems Analyst is unavailable a message can be left at 604-822-8991 (there is a phone located in the lab) or by email hkin.systems.analyst@ubc.ca.

education computing services
The School of Human Kinetics falls under the Department of Education and, as such, all HKIN students are entitled to apply for a computer account at Education Computing and Media Services (CMS). CMS has both a Windows/Intel lab and an Apple Macintosh lab. The CMS facility is open 24/7 but the labs are unavailable during scheduled course bookings. For more information please visit the CMS website.

Students can self-register for their email account from any computer with Internet access by visiting the UBC Interchange website.

Instructor and staff accounts must be setup by contacting the HKIN Systems Analyst (603-822-8991). You must provide your UBC Employee ID Number in order to complete the registration process. Once the account has been created, you will be given directions on how to access it.
