COMPUTER LABORATORY
POLICY
1. The primary purpose of the Computer Laboratory is for course related
projects and assignments.
2. Games and personal activities have a lower priority than coursework.
This means that a student wishing to do coursework may ask a person conducting
personal activities to leave if all the computers are being utilized in
the lab.
3. At peak times, the college IIT Division reserves the right to limit
some of the resource capabilities which allow students to use the labs
for activities that are not course related.
4. Eating, drinking, and tobacco use are prohibited in the labs.
5. No software may be installed on the computers in the labs. This includes
games.
6. Anyone caught tampering with equipment or violating computer-related
policies will be reported to the associate vice president for student
affairs for disciplinary action. This includes changing any files that
currently reside on the work stations, theft, and deliberate vandalism
of hardware.
