Non-educational material applies to all files, programs and activities that do not pertain to education. This includes computer games of any kind, MUDs and MOOs, social chat rooms and pornography. Any users found viewing such materials will be issued two warnings. Failure to abide by these warnings will result in the banning of the user from further use at the ITS computer labs. The lab also cautions users from viewing recreational material when the lab is busy since it keeps computers away from people with projects and papers to do.
Recreational material includes personal e-mail and web browsing other than for research purposes.
If the user commits a third offense, the user is banned from further use at the ITS computer labs. Sometimes, an error occurs that causes the computer to stop its activity. The computer automatically pauses the program or programs inflicted with the error until it can be corrected. In many cases, this conflict can be corrected by forcibly ending the program by simultaneously depressing the Ctrl, Alt and Delete keys until a window appears. The window has a list of programs on it.
