Standard Operating Environment
The Douglas (Townsville), Cairns and Mackay campuses house a total of 23 General Access Teaching Computing facilities (GATCF), including the Libraries in Townsville and Cairns. There are a total of 731 desktop units, of which there are 117 Macs and 614 PCs.
Only current staff and enrolled students have permission to use the computers located in the GATCF Labs. Students and staff are presented with a login box on the computers where they must enter their JCU Username and password.
Standard Hardware & Software
There is a range of Software applications and utilities installed on all GATCF workstations forming what is commonly referred to as the GATCF Standard Operating Environment (SOE). Students and staff have access to all of these packages after successfully logging in on a GATCF computer.
ICT staff are responsible for the installation, maintenance, and availability of software installed as part of the SOE.
