Internet access, Computer rooms, and Printing services

Internet access is provided by the Eduroam wireless network available in most of Charles University buildings as well as dormitories and several other institutions in Prague. The guide on how to connect your device (mobile phone, notebook, tablet, etc.) to Eduroam is described on this webpage: https://www.natur.cuni.cz/eng/centre-of-information-technologies/wifi
If you are having trouble connecting to Eduroam using these instructions, please contact the Faculty IT Help Desk on https://helpdesk.natur.cuni.cz

 Computer rooms 

Computer classrooms at the faculty are rooms full of computers, which students usually do not have access to unless they have a lesson with a professor:

• classroom B5 (110) located in Viničná 7, 1^st floor – 19 terminals
• classroom B311 (311) located in Viničná 7, 3^rd floor – 24 notebooks
• classroom K1 located in Albertov 6, 3^rd floor – 19 computers
• classroom K2 located in Albertov 6, 3^rd floor – 15 computers
• classroom PUA (S01) located in Albertov 6, basement – 20 terminals
• classroom Z3 located in Albertov 6, 4^th floor – 24 computers

Computer study rooms at the faculty are compared to computer classrooms designated for individual study. You can find the opening hours, which can change during the year together with other information on the  webpage: http://ucebny.natur.cuni.cz/
The computer study rooms are mostly a part of a faculty library, an area with several computers:

• study room located in the Library of Biology, Viničná 7, 1^st floor – 17 terminals
• study room located in the Library of Chemistry, Hlavova 8, basement – 8 terminals
• study room located in the Library of Geology, Albertov 6, ground floor – 8 terminals
• study room located in Albertov 6, 4^th floor (next to Z3 classroom) – 25 terminals

Using computers at the faculty may be a little challenging since there is a Czech version of Windows. To log into the system, use the same login and password as to log in to SIS. Alternatively, you can use your email in the form login@natur.cuni.cz and the same password. After 10 unsuccessful login attempts, your account will be locked for 30 min.
You have also the possibility to save your data. Your local disc J: accessible only for your account enables you to save your data up to 200 MB (400 MB for geographers). Whereas the disc T: is freely accessible to everyone at the Faculty of Science and it is regularly deleted. Discs S: and V: contain data necessary for teaching. These discs are accessible from all computers at the faculty except terminals.

To log out, press "Start" button (with the "Windows" logo in the left bottom corner of your screen) and then in the menu "Vypnout" (turn off) choose "Odhlásit se" (log out). To turn computer off just click directly on "Vypnout" (turn off).

 Printing services 

Students who want to use the printing services of the Faculty of Science, need an ISIC card (issued by CU) and some money on their "printing" MyQ account (which is separate from the canteen or dorm account).

Self-service printing, copying, scanning, etc. are provided by the MyQ system, which is software operating for the whole faculty. MyQ account is automatically created for all students at the faculty and will be automatically closed in 3 months from ending their studies – any account balance will be forfeited after the 3 months. A cash withdrawal is possible at the Information technology division (CIT) with your ISIC card.

To put some money on a MyQ account, students can use the slot machines located in the computer study room (Albertov 6, 4^th floor) or in the Library of Biology in room 101 (Viničná 7, 1^st floor). (When you place your ISIC card to the MyQ sensor, a menu in Czech appears. Put some money into the machine and then click on "Odhlásit bez účtenky" to log you out.)
Notice: The slot machines return neither coins nor banknotes! Alternatively, students can ask librarians in the Library of Chemistry (Hlavova 8, in the basement) to put some money in their accounts.
