The Computer Lab Rules and Regulations

v Food & drink is allowed in the lab, but it must be placed on shelf by the door.

v Clean up after yourself. Push your chairs in. Put extra printouts in the recycle bin.

v These labs are for class work and study not for fun. Anyone being excessively noisy or using computers for non-class purposes will be asked to leave.

v Subject matter of a disagreeable nature cannot be accessed through the NWACC labs. The lab monitor gets to decide what is disagreeable. If there is a dispute over materials you must stop viewing them and then get your instructor to give the lab monitor an OK for you to be viewing the material.

v Anyone letting another person log on using their Login-ID and Password will lose their account. This generally results in the student receiving an F since they can no longer do their work.

v The lab monitor is the final word. Obey what they say. If you have a problem with it then complain to your instructor.

v Room 1226 is the general lab for use outside of class; DO NOT use any of the other rooms.
