Software copying or distribution is illegal and is not permitted. This deprives professionals in the computer field of their livelihood and increases the cost of software for everyone. During times when the facility is very busy you may be asked to leave or logout to allow another student access, particularly if you are not engaged in academic work. Please do so graciously and return at a less busy time. Peak and offpeak times will be posted outside the various lab facilities.
Computer viruses are a concern to everyone.
You will be asked to leave the facility if you propagate viruses. If the machine you are working on indicates there is a computer virus, alert the lab staff immediately. Computer games often propagate viruses. Do not save your work on the hard disks in the labs. These disks are periodically erased.
