Student Activities and Services

Many activities and services exist for students at CSUF; ranging anywhere from job placement to the Pub! You may refer to the CSUF Catalog for information about many of the campus wide student activities and services. Described below are a few of the activities and services available specifically for Computer Science students.

Open Computer Labs

The Computer Science Department maintains a computer lab, which remains open for most of the standard campus operating hours. Signs posted on the doors of the lab show the operating days and hours. The lab is in CS-200/CS-202, and contains PCs, Macintosh computers and WEB access.

In addition, there is a campus-wide Computer Center located in the basement of the Library. This lab contains computers running the Windows and Macintosh operating systems. For more information about the campus Computer Center, drop by or call the library at (657) 278-2633.

Computer Accounts

As a Computer Science student, you may get a special Titan computer account. Titan is a Unix based server used throughout the Computer Science Department and connected to the Internet. All functionality from email to surfing the World Wide Web is available through this account. To get a Titan account, visit the Computer Science office in room CS-522 with a photo ID.

Scholarship Information
Several scholarships are available to help students in the College of Engineering and Computer Science pay for educational expenses such as books and fees. Most scholarships require a certain grade point average (GPA) and involvement in extracurricular activities. Some, but not all, are based on financial need. 

The Assistant Dean maintains current scholarship information and application forms for students majoring within this college. You can find up-to-date scholarship information at http://www.fullerton.edu/ecs/scholarships.htm. You can also contact the Assistant Dean in CS-501, by email at tteresh@fullerton.edu, or by phone at (657) 278-2887 for more information.

The Computer Science Club (ACM)

ACM (Association for Computing Machinery, founded 1947) is an international scientific and educational organization dedicated to advancing the art, science, engineering, and application of information technology, serving both professional and public interests by fostering the open interchange of information and by promoting the highest professional and ethical standards. The ACM at CSUF provides a continuing forum for the exchange of ideas and announcements for all the students on campus that share an interest in the diversified aspects of computing. Activities include field trips, programming contests, workshops, symposiums, games and tournaments.

For information on the club, you are welcome to drop by the office in room CS-209, call (657) 278-7165, or send email to acm@acm-csuf.org. In addition, ACM operates a home page at http://www.acm-csuf.org/. The ACM home page contains many services and maintains links to other student services. Surf on over and see what's there!

The ACM computer club is a student-run organization and its activities are open to all interested students. The club is successful only to the extent that students support it and participate in its activities. We encourage you to get involved!
