Lab Policies

1. Computer Science labs are only open to students enrolled in Computer Science classes and students enrolled in a program supported by the Department of Computer Science.
2. Scheduled classes have priority. Any lab that is in use by a scheduled class is off limits to any walk-in students.
3. Lab Assistants. When using lab computers, students can get help from the Lab Assistants. Report to Lab Assistants with any computer questions, errors, and functional problems. Never ask Lab Assistants to do your homework. However, if there is something you do not understand, they will try to help you.
