Guideline for using the Lab
|
|
The
primary purpose of computer lab resources is for academic research, study, and
doing class assignments. Lab users have a right to expect a quiet, clean,
academic lab environment. These guidelines are intended to clarify the
responsibilities of lab users towards this end. 1.
All
activities must adhere to the Policy for Acceptable Use of Information
Technology Resources. 2.
Use
of the lab is restricted to the current students, faculty, and staff. Lab
Attendants have the right to request to see a University ID. 3.
No
food, drinks, pets, or bicycles are permitted in the labs. 4.
Children
are not permitted in the labs without the supervision of their parents.
5.
Loud
conversations are not permitted in the labs, as it is a disturbance to other
users. This also includes listening
to music with the earphone volume turned too high. Students engaged in loud, disruptive conversations in the
labs would be asked to leave. 6.
Users
are responsible for saving their documents on their own floppy or zip disks.
Downloading or installing programs on the hard drives is strictly prohibited. 7.
When
all workstations are in use and students are waiting to use a computer, the lab
monitor will ask those using computers for recreation (games, web browsing not
related to class/instruction, etc.) to relinquish their seats to those needing
to do their academic work. 8.
While
you have the freedom to view varying types of materials, please remember that
others in the lab may, and can, see what you are looking at. We are not trying
to dictate what material you may view, only asking that you have respect for
other people’s feelings while doing so. Use
of lab equipment to view or download materials may require the user to
demonstrate his/her educational or research purpose for such use. Lab attendants
are authorized to make this inquiry upon a complaint from another user in the
lab. Lab attendants may ask a user
viewing such materials to move to another workstation in an inconspicuous area
of the lab. Intentional failure to comply with these guidelines will result in action that may include suspension of user privileges.
