Electronics Labs

Lab Access After Hours

A lab assistant is available outside of normal hours at the Boca Raton campus location. The lab assistant's schedule is posted on the lab door since the times may vary.

Students that show responsibility and have been instructed in the lab equipment and safety procedures may be allowed lab access after normal hours at either location. If assistance is needed outside of normal hours email the lab staff to find out if an accommodation can be made.
