Computer Lab Guidelines
- Do not save important information on lab computers. All information is erased when the computer reboots.
- Save data to a personal storage device or cloud service (such as your One Drive for Business account). If storage is absolutely needed on the computer you are working on, files can be saved on the U: drive, or Thawed Space. Files will remain there until the computer is imaged, or until deleted.
- Downloading of copyrighted material is prohibited, including games, music and movies. Installation of file sharing, or peer-to-peer (P2P) applications is prohibited. Staff members will ask you to leave if they are aware of network abuse.
- Viewing of sexually explicit material is prohibited, and you will be asked to leave the computer lab.
- Limit your computer use if you are not working on academic material during busy times. If there are people waiting to use computers, please be courteous to those who need to conduct school-related work.
- Personal files are your responsibility. The staff cannot be held responsible for files that do not open or print, or for disks or memory devices that do not work. If you seek assistance from a staff member to open or work with a file, that staff member assumes no responsibility for that disk or file. You should back-up your work regularly in multiple places. For assistance saving files, please ask a staff member. Staff members will not write letters or notes to professors if your files do not work.
