Lab Usage Regulations:
The computers in Rooms 301, 303 and in the Learning Center Computer Lab (Room 111)
are available for student use.
Staffing:
- Our
JCC Lab Technicians are available to assist computer users with
troubleshooting hardware or software problems and to answer questions
when appropriate. Please check the posted lab schedule to see when the
lab staff will be on duty.
- Other
lab staff members are available as posted on the lab schedule.
- Other
"open lab" hours are available for using computers, but no technical
assistance is available during those hours.
Safety/Security:
- Children
are not permitted in the lab at any time. The college's liability
insurance does not cover children of students, so it is also
inappropriate to have children waiting for parents in college lounges.
- No
food or drinks are permitted in the lab. The potential for damaging or
destroying a computer, keyboard, or other hardware is too great when
liquids and food are present. Please do your part to keep our lab "up
and running."
- Students
need to exit both the lab and the building by the posted closing times.
Please finish printing and closing down your computer at least 15
minutes before the building is scheduled to close. Respect the schedules
of our staff members who must secure the building at closing time.
- If
equipment is not functioning properly, do not attempt to fix it
yourself. Please ask the lab technician for assistance or move to
another machine.
- The
JCC Administrative Office Staff members are not prepared to provide
technical assistance in the lab. If the lab technician is not available,
it may be necessary to return at another time.
Printing Privileges
- The printers in the computer labs are to be used to
print documents for college classes only. There should be no
personal use of printers.
- While typing a paper for a college class, please save
the paper to your zip or other disk before printing a draft copy. When
you do print a draft copy, please make all changes needed before reprinting
the document.
- While doing research for a class project, you may wish
to print pages from the Internet for your reference later. Please
print only those pages that will enable you to get the bibliographic
information later.
- Please do not print more than
3 pages of any document from the Internet.
- Print to File.
If you need the content of an entire (long) document from the Internet, try
using the "Print to file" option and save the document to your zip
disk.
- Copy and Paste.
If you need only a section of material from a particular site on the
Internet, try using the "copy and paste" option to save the
material in a word processing file on your zip or other disk. That way
you can access the material later, edit it, and print only those pages that
are essential.
User Responsibilities:
- Please
do not tamper with the hard drive on any machine or attempt to break the
system’s security mechanism.
- Do
not attempt to copy any other student’s work or any of the software
available in the lab.
- It
is your responsibility to bring the proper disk with you when you come
to class or the lab. Most computers at the JCC are
equipped with zip and 3 1/2" high density
drives.
- Do
not save files on the hard drive; save only in A: drive.
Zip drives are also provided for storage of large files of course
work.
- At
no time should you attempt to copy software from the computer lab hard
drives onto a zip disk.
- When
you are finished using the computer for the day, please do NOT close
down the computer.
- Collect
all disks from the computer drives.
- Turn
off only the monitor.
- Clean
up your work area before departing. Throw away extra papers.
