A change in course fees and the classes to which they pertain have been approved by the CSU Chancellor and CSU student advisory committees effective Spring 2009.

Students enrolled in the following courses are required to pay a $13.00 course fee, per course:

CSC 413, CSC 415, CSC 600, CSC 615, CSC 620, CSC 630, CSC 637, CSC 640, CSC 641, CSC 642, CSC 644, CSC 645, CSC 650, CSC 651, CSC 656, CSC 664, CSC 665, CSC 667, CSC 668, CSC 671, CSC 675, CSC 690, CSC 720, CSC 730, CSC 745, CSC 775, CSC 810, CSC 820, CSC 825, CSC 830, CSC 835, CSC 837, CSC 840, CSC 841, CSC 842, CSC 845, CSC 846, CSC 848, CSC 849, CSC 850, CSC 856, CSC 857, CSC 864, CSC 868, CSC 870, CSC 871.

The course fees are used for maintaining and improving the computer science labs for the benefit of all computer science students, specifically related to student classwork. The course fee pays for supplies such as toner, paper, and computer hardware and software needed for classes. These fees also give the department more flexibility to fund lab assistants and lab improvements from other funding sources.

Simon Lew is the student coordinator for the labs. Please contact him at cslabs@sfsu.edu with any questions or concerns regarding the lab facilities.

Each Course Fee paid per semester, entitles you to print 400 sheets from the CS Lab Printer during that semester. (e.g. - If you have paid 2 course fees, you have a total of 800 sheets for your beginning Printing Quota.)

If you exhaust your quota and still want to print, all you need to do is pay another fee. Bring your Bursar Stamped Fee Sheet to the CS Dept Office and another 400 sheets will be added to your Print Quota.

Students enrolled in Computer Science courses may obtain a free comkey from the Computer Science Department office. If lost, you will need to purchase a replacement key at the bookstore for a nominal fee. This key is good for your entire time here at SFSU, and must be returned when you no longer take computer science courses, or for CS majors when you graduate.

To get your ComKey activated (or reactivated if lost), please follow the following steps:

1. Go to the Department Office, TH 906. Bring your ComKey if you just purchased one. A student assistant will be stationed there for the purpose of setting up your lab access for the year.
2. Bring your Student ID Card. We need this for identification purposes and to check that you are enrolled in CS courses or you are a CS major. You must bring this with you.
3. Your name will be entered and your ComKey will be activated.
4. Verify that your ComKey is functioning correctly by going to the SCI 254 Lab door and putting the ComKey on the Access Plate. If the door lock clicks open your ComKey is functioniong correctly; if not, come back to the office and the student assistant will resolve the problem.

If you lost your ComKey, here is the process for purchasing a ComKey:

1. Go to the SFSU Bookstore's Gift and Supply Counter. Tell the clerk that you need a new ComKey. The clerk will give you a printed barcode to be rung up at the register.
2. Once you have paid for the key, return to the Gift and Supply Counter.
3. Show your Receipt to the clerk who will then give you a comkey.

1. The lab doors are not to be propped open at any time.
2. Each student must user their ComKey to gain entry to the labs.
3. Note: If the labs are warm, open the windows and use the fans in SCI 254 to help cool the rooms down.
