Please report any software or hardware problems to the consultant on duty. Your assistance helps keep all labs in good operation.

We expect all users to abide by our printing policies.

The labs are intended for educational purposes. Use of equipment for a private enterprise is strictly prohibited. Limit personal computing activities as not to interfere with other users wanting to use the facilities for scholastic purposes.
