Lab Policies

The computer labs are intended for academic use and patrons are expected to act appropriately. During open lab hours, talking should be kept to a minimum and patrons should use a low tone of voice.  Disruptive individuals will be asked to leave. In some cases, punishment may include the permanent dismissal of an individual's lab privileges. If necessary, campus police will be contacted to attend to unruly patrons.

 

 
  • The use of cell phones inside the labs is strictly prohibited.
  • Cell phones and other electronic devices should be set to silent or vibrate.
