The computer lab is available for you to receive help with the software programs used in Cascadia's courses. Trained assistants are available to help you individually or in small groups. Staff members can help on a wide range of computer applications, including web technology and programming applications, as well as assist you with class projects.

The OLC has computers configured with Windows XP Pro and Office 2007 that include the same software and applications that are used in the classroom. The OLC also has scanners, a co-op copier, and black & white and color printers for student use.
