Labs

In light of the current context and in a bid to prevent a potential second wave of Covid-19 impacting Ontario, Centennial College will, for the most part, continue to offer course delivery in hybrid and/or online mode. It is hoped, however, that courses with significant hands-on activity and requiring in-house instruction will be scheduled on our campuses in strict accordance with Public Health protocols.

For applicable courses that have hands-on activity, students may be required to have their own copy of the lab manual available for in-class marking. This type of requirement is detailed in the course outline that is provided to students in the eCentennial course shell.

There may be limited access to Centennial’s computers and specialty labs. For your health and safety, follow any posted protocols (e.g., physical distancing, cleaning, etc.).

Software

Students have access to industry-leading software packages and bundles that can be found in rooms, labs, and podiums across our campuses. Computers at each campus will be loaded with the applications for use in your courses. To access these features, you must log in to the network using your student number. You can see a comprehensive list of software and software packages installed by room and by campus here.

Additionally, students in ICET programs have classes scheduled in a suite of lab classrooms that contain specialized technology, to ensure access to the software and hardware needed for successful curriculum completion.

Digital Resources

For full list of online resources please consult the professors and information posted in each eCentennial course shell.

Library Collections

Instructors may make course readings available online through the eReserves service in eCentennial or as physical items that can be borrowed from a campus library on short-term loan. If your instructor is using eReserves, you will see a module in the course content on eCentennial. The list may include links to library resources like databases, articles, and eBooks; book chapters; web links; and open educational resources. Check your course outline or contact your instructor for information about where your assigned course readings are located.
