The department takes necessary precautions to safeguard these systems and routinely clean the hard drives of unwanted files, etc. Encouraging your students to abide by this policy is greatly appreciated. We also try to keep the noise level down in the open lab so a reminder to your students to be considerate of others as they enter and leave the classroom areas would be helpful. Please do not bring food or drink into the lab. We would like to maintain clean systems and keyboards, as well as have an inviting room in which all students can work.
Spills can be costly.
Our student workers can provide basic assistance and troubleshooting on our standard software and hardware. Assistance on specialized non-standard hardware and software is the responsibility of the instructor or student tutors. Printing is costly in the lab. Please encourage your students to use print preview whenever possible and avoid printing large documents or web pages unless absolutely necessary. Back up all your file from the hard disk to your floppy diskettes.
