The History Department has several resources available to assist students in their professional development as researchers and teachers. The History department's computer lab is located in Room 462 of the Bellamy Building. The computer lab provides students with high-speed T-1 Internet access and software applications. The computer lab is available only to History graduate students who have submitted the required application and who have signed the terms of usage agreement contained in the lab policies manual. Students who use the computer lab will need to acquire a unique username and password from one of the computer lab staff. Use of these computer resources is a privilege, not a right, and abuses of the lab’s rules are subject to suspension or revocation of lab privileges. Use of the lab requires an FSU student identification card.
