Do not attempt to infiltrate or 'hack' into any computer, computing system, or network. Students may not attach any personal equipment to any network or SVC equipment. If you violate lab procedures you risk loss of your account and lab access. Students who seriously violate guidelines will have their accounts frozen until they have visited with the Lab Manager, Network Manager, or Associate Dean for Information Technology to determine if an understanding of policy and agreement to comply is complete. Only after that time may the account be reactivated.
Lab techs are here to assist with lab operations.
The degree of help which a tech can give a student is limited. Students who use the facilities are expected to be, for the most part, self-sufficient in their computer usage. Lab techs are typically able to help with commonly used software such as MSWord, MSExcel, and Netscape. However, this does not mean they possess an extensive knowledge of all the software available to students. It should be noted that there are several special-purpose software packages installed on the lab computers which the lab techs are not trained to support.
