Welcome to SSC After Hours

This service allows our users remote desktop access to the SSC lab machines after our regular business hours. We encourage you to try this out and give us your feedback. Please remember, however, that this service is after hours, so immediate support may not be available.

Please send your comments, suggestions and questions to remote@ssc.ucla.edu.


Hours


2035B, 2400, 2400A Public Affairs
The computers in 2035B, 2400, and 2400A are generally available between the hours of 7:00 pm and 7:00 am Monday thru Friday and Fridays, 7:00 pm to Monday mornings, 7am.  If a class in one of the above labs ends after 7pm, AfterHours availability will begin after that class ends.

Only Bunche 2159 will be available for remote access during the Summer Sessions.


Please be aware that these hours are subject to change without notification. All software normally available in our labs is available to you remotely. The machines are set to reboot every morning at 7am.
