The IQSS Computer Labs use University active directory accounts that must be activated for use in our labs. New patrons can easily "sign" up for lab access by filling out our [access request form](/contact-labs "Access Request Form"). Current/active MIT affiliates who do not have University active directory accounts may sign up for lab access, and we will sponsor a University active directory account for your use. Please note that this process may take several days to complete for new users.
