Who we are...

The UPL is a social club. Stop by any time the room is open! Feel free to stop by between classes or as a place to eat your lunch. The UPL Coordinators are happy to answer questions, help you with homework, help you start a project, and more! Or, don't come in with any goal at all! We'd love to meet you.

Who we are NOT...

The UPL itself does not do any projects. Rather, people within the lab do projects, and use the space as a way to connect with other UW students. Check out our blog to see what UPL'ers are up to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a CS major?

No! While we're a CS focused organization, you don't need to be a CS major!

What resources are available through the UPL?

  • A lab room in the CS building.
  • Server infrastructure for project use.
  • Books to check out.
  • And of course, each other, to talk to about anything CS (and more!).

Do I need to be an undergraduate student?

No, you do not. Anyone who is a registered student with the University is welcome to use the machines and resources of the lab. We do have a few graduate students that frequent the lab as well.

Can we still use the servers remotely?

Yes! It is possible for us to remotely access our servers. If that interests you, talk to us! Server infrastructure is an ongoing project.
