The Computer Services department at OU-Eastern Campus is responsible for the oversight, maintenance, and updating of the various aspects of computer and technology services for the Eastern Campus. This includes the public computer labs, computers for the faculty and staff, the campus network, and internet access.

In order to provide the Eastern Campus community with the best possible access to technology and internet resources, Eastern Campus has seven computer labs which are open to students, alumni, faculty, and the local community.
