Azure Lab Services is a cloud based classroom enabling students and instructors to access virtual machines (VM's) for lab assignments within iSchool courses. If you are an instructor for an iSchool (IST) course and are interested in having a VM provisioned for your students, please contact iSchool's Technology Services team by emailing ischoolit@ot.syr.edu.

Add users to the lab
- By default we will add all students from your class roster. You can add/remove as needed.
Select Users on the left menu. By default, the Restrict access option is enabled. When this setting is on, a user can't register with the lab even if the user has the registration link unless the user is in the list of users. Only users in the list can register with the lab by using the registration link you send. In this procedure, you add users to the list. Alternatively, you can turn off Restrict access, which allows users to register with the lab as long as they have the registration link.
Select Add users on the toolbar, and then select Add by email address.

- Each class section is budgeted and charged based on 10 quota hours assigned to each student for the entire duration of the class. Please do not change the total quota of your class. IT provides reports on lab spending and will investigate usage that exceeds normal costs.
- Template VMs incur cost when running, so ensure that the template VM is shutdown when you don’t need it to be running.
- Automatic shutdown & disconnect options should alway be checked and set at 15 minutes.
