The Academic Computer Center headcount figures come from information collected hourly in the lab. A student employee counts how many users are in the ACC open lab and classrooms every hour, on the half hour. The numbers are entered into a program that allows us to calculate how many students are in the ACC at certain times of the day or during each week. We have been collecting and compiling this data since January 1988.
This information is used for a variety of reasons including scheduling employees, determining equipment to add or replace, and obtaining funds for the labs that will more evenly distribute the number of computers for users on campus. The ACC has seen over seven million users to date, and averages 400,000 user hours annually, since our opening sixteen years ago.
