Who is Eligible to
use the Facilities?
All currently
registered students, faculty, and staff are eligible
to use the general access microcomputer facilities.
You must show a valid SULC ID in order to set up an
account. Once your account is established, it is
valid at any of the microcomputers at the Law Center
and allows you to access computers, software,
scanners, and printers.
To set up an
account, ask any of the IT staff to assist you.
Accounts are activated within seconds. Once you have
created an account, it will remain active as long as
you are affiliated with the University. Printing
credits are renewed at the beginning of each
semester. Accounts are deactivated for students who
are not registered and for staff and faculty who are
no longer with the University.
Printing
Information
Students are
given a certain number of free prints each semester
and are charged a fee for printing pages over the
limit. Each semester the first 200 prints are free.
You may add credit to your account at any time by
paying for printing in advance. Print credits will
not carry over each semester. There is no refund for
unused printing credits.
1 black & white
page (single sided) = $0.03
1 black & white page (double sided) = $0.06
Please take the
necessary steps to spell check and preview your work
before you print. After a print job is submitted,
type in your user name and password at the Pharos
station to print the document. The delete option is
available on submitted documents at the Pharos
station. Account balance can be reviewed at this
point. You may use your own photo paper, resume
paper, or transparency slides. The cost for using
your own paper is still $0.03 per page. See the lab
staff for assistance.
You are
responsible for maintaining security for your
account. If you think someone is using your account,
change your password immediately. Any of the ITSS
staff can assist you with password changes. Never
give your password to anyone. You are responsible
for any and all printing charged to your account.
The computer
facilities do not sell or loan out diskettes. Bring
in your own diskettes to save your work. Hard disk
storage is not permanent. You may use the hard disk
to copy documents temporarily. Do not alter the
computer configuration. We do not offer support for
software you bring into the facilities.
PC scanners for
students are available in the computer lab. Faculty
can access scanners at the faculty area, and staff
can access the scanner in ITSS. Appointments to use
a scanner can be made through ITSS.
ITSS staff are
available to assist you. They will help you set up
an account, answer supported software questions,
check out manuals, and troubleshoot problems.
One of our main
objectives is to make the Workstation and
Microcomputer Facilities a pleasant environment in
which you do your academic work. The budgetary
restrictions we face each year means replacement of
abused and broken equipment, stolen equipment, and
damaged materials becomes less of a reality. As a
responsible patron we hope you take these cutbacks
seriously and take care when using the equipment and
other facility resources.
Once you become
an authorized user by establishing an account with
ITSS, you are responsible for following these rules
when using the facilities:
-
No food, drinks,
smoking, or chewing tobacco are allowed in
the facilities. Closed water bottles are
permitted.
-
Limit of one computer
per person.
-
Computer games are not
allowed.
-
No loud group
conversations or music (you must wear
headphones).
-
Return all borrowed
materials in their original condition before
you leave the facility.
-
Leave all hardware and
furniture in its original place.
-
Attachment of personal
hardware to computers is not permitted.
-
Abide by the account
setup and printing policy. Do not allow
others to access your account.
-
The Microcomputer
Facilities are not responsible for any lost,
misplaced, or stolen items.
-
Clients are solely
responsible for their personal belongings.
The Facilities
will now allow hardware to be attached to the
network at the atrium, study rooms, and student
lounge under these restrictions:
-
You must take FULL
responsibility for your hardware.
-
You must install the
hardware on your own; ITSS staff will NOT be
available for hardware assistance.
-
Do NOT unplug our
hardware (power or Ethernet) under any
circumstances. You are not allowed to use
our Ethernet cables for your laptops.
-
If the security
restrictions on our machines do not allow a
complete installation or if you cannot
install the hardware on your own, you cannot
use your device in our facility.
-
Parents who bring their
children into the facility must take the
responsibility for the supervision and
control of them. Any child who is disruptive
to other clients or causes damage to any of
the equipment will be asked to leave (along
with the parent).
-
Study groups may
utilize computers at facilities as long the
conversation and noise level does not
disrupt the work environment of other users.
-
You will be given one
warning if you violate any of the
restrictions above. Your account will be
disabled after a second violation.
You will be
asked to leave the facility, and your account will
be disabled for the following:
-
Allowing another person
to use your account and password.
-
Copying materials or
site-licensed software protected under
copyright law. You are solely responsible
for any unauthorized copying or illicit use
of any facility resources.
-
Reconfiguring the
operating system.
-
Theft of any hardware
or peripherals at the workstations.
-
Noncompliance of the
University's policies and guidelines on
computer use and network resources, student
conduct, sexual harassment, and email.
Your name will
be sent to the Office of Student Affairs for further
disciplinary action. Reinstatement of your account
will be determined by this office.
All ITSS staff
as well as computer lab staff have the authority to
ask you to leave the facility and/or report you for
the violations stated above. Campus Police will be
called if you refuse to vacate the premises. You
have the privilege of discussing your case with the
Office of Student Affairs.
