Dear Instructors,

In preparation for Spring Quarter, we invite you to the General Assignment Classrooms and Computer Labs Open House on Monday, March 23, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. During this time, all General Assignment classrooms will be open for you to explore, test the A/V equipment, and become familiar with the classroom technology.

The Academic Affairs IT Classroom A/V Services Team will be available throughout the Open House to answer questions and provide support. We encourage you to bring the devices you plan to use in class (laptops, tablets, etc.) and visit your assigned classroom.

For guides and resources, please visit the Campus Classrooms Website at: https://classrooms.ucsb.edu.
