  • Students are given a 2 GB quota of space for use with the UWStudent Lab System. This space is commonly referred to as "the H:\" (the "H" drive).
  • Students are also given 24 MB of space for their roaming profiles. Roaming profiles allow students to make changes to the desktop and see those changes no matter which lab they are using because that information is saved in the profile.
