\nJan 6, 8<\/td>\n		Introduction to the course<\/a><\/p>\n

You can pay your $20 lab fee online<\/a>; it must be paid before you can access the in-person and online computers (that is, get your username and password). If you are taking another computer-based class you only have to pay one lab fee.<\/td>\n

What is the context? GI: Society, Science, and Systems<\/a><\/td>\nInstructions on how to remotely (from home, etc.) log onto a Geography Department’s Lab Computer and run ArcGIS Pro.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you want to take on the task of installing and supporting ArcGIS Pro on your own Windows system, you can also pay here<\/a> (this is separate from our lab fee) and then email Jose (labhelp@geog.ubc.ca) with the receipt to download ArcGIS Pro.<\/td>\n
