24 Hour Doctoral Study Lab The 24 Hour Doctoral Study Lab offers a 10-station lab to support the intensive work required to craft the dissertation. These stations are accessible only to doctoral students who receive special permission from a faculty member. In order to assure continued access to these limited resources, students must renew their application for access each term and should only be given permission by a faculty member while they are actively engaged in dissertation or other doctoral research. This lab is also available for smaller full-engagement classes or seminars or other instructional uses as determined by the Director of Technology and Media Services and the Lab Manager.

Access to the 24 Hour Doctoral Study Lab is controled by the
Council of Graduate Students in Education (CGSE).
