Computer Center Lab Policies

• Software may not be installed or reconfigured (even temporarily) on the hard drives of any classroom or lab computer without proper consultation. This is to ensure that the facilities remain completely operational for all users.
• Customers are expected to adhere to federal copyright laws.
• The computer center labs and classroom projection systems are not personal arcades. The use of non-course related games, including MUDs, is not allowed.
• It is not the responsibility of Drew University or its employees to define what "offensive" means. Customer complaints regarding offensive (but legal) materials on other customers screens will be dealt with by advising the offended party to move to another seat in the computer center.
• In the event that there is insufficient seating in the labs, customers using systems for non-academic purposes may be asked to give up their seat so that customers who need to use the facilities for academic reasons may be accommodated.
• Labs may not be used for mass duplication of materials.
• Labs are for use by Drew faculty, staff, and students only. Guests, children, etc. must be accompanied by a member of the Drew community at all times and may not use the equipment.
• Absolutely no eating, drinking, or smoking is allowed in computer center labs and classrooms.
• The Computer Center is not responsible for lost or stolen items in the public computer labs. If items are found by computer center staff, they will be forwarded to Public Safety. Small items, such as diskettes, CDs, headphones, etc. will be kept for 3 months, so check with the desk attendant.
• Computer Center labs and classrooms are available to faculty for hands-on computer sessions. Priority is given in the following order: Computer Training sessions, semester-long requests, single use faculty requests, and general use. Requests should be made as early as possible to ensure availability, but no sooner than 3 months prior to the date.
• Computer Training Room (BC-1)
• Room reservations are available to faculty for single sessions or semester-long courses by contacting the Training Coordinator. Always unavailable in Summer Session 1 because of Faculty development program.
• Multimedia Lab (BC-13)
• Due to the specialized nature of this room, it is only available for semester-long courses that have specialized need that only this room can accommodate. Must have approval of the CNS Director. No other scheduling opportunities are available. Normally open as a public lab.  Always unavailable in Summer Session 1 because of Faculty development program.
• Other Computer Center Labs (BC-5, 7)
• Due to the function of these rooms, they are available only during hours when the CNS Helpdesk is closed, for single use, and only when Room 1 is unavailable. Schedule by contacting the Training Coordinator.
• The LRC and Writing Labs are not formally part of our facilities. Contact the Director of the Language Resource Center and Sandra Jamieson respectively for details concerning these facilities.
