Food and beverages are not allowed in the labs. There are tables outside most of the labs for you to leave your food.

Backpacks are not allowed on the computer tables in the labs.

Keep your account and password secure

Use labs and computers for course work and projects only.

Scan personal disks for viruses.

Keep conversations outside, away from the labs.

Relinquish systems with limited resources to other users if you aren’t using that resource (i.e., equipment such as zip drives, CD-ROM burners, local printers, scanners, etc.).

Please do not tamper with equipment, cables, or software installations.

Duplication of copyrighted disks, software, or manuals is prohibited.

Do not install software of any kind on Wintel based lab boxes. If you feel justified in doing so please ask first.

Computers are not to be locked for more 10 minutes. Computers left unattended longer may be assumed to be available for use and any processes on that device terminated.

Music is not allowed in the labs unless the speakers are off and you are using headphones

Speak quietly when conversing with others in the labs.

Printers are self-serve. Clean up after yourself and be sure to file unclaimed print jobs near the printer. Do not leave a mess for others to clean up. Review the document or image you are about to print to avoid unnecessary copies.

Users submitting large or complex print jobs need to make sure that their jobs complete properly and not cause jams or hangups.

The maintenance of all equipment in the labs is the responsibility of the support staff. Do not reboot or power cycle equipment or tamper with them in any other way. Do not disconnect, open, or swap any components on the equipment. Report problems of non-functioning hardware to theCAT.

Use a pointer, such as a pencil, to direct attention to the screen instead of your fingers. Fingerprints on the screens make it difficult for others to see.
