ALL GENERAL
COMPUTER LAB RULES AND REGULATIONS APPLY
By
signing into the computer labs, the student affirms that he/she has
read and understands this policy, which is also posted in the area
where students enter the labs.
The following policies have been placed to make for a quiet, clean and productive
study environment. We appreciate your cooperation.
Please no food or drink in the lab, including water and gum.
ALL STUDENTS MUST SHOW
PROPER ID TO USE THE LAB. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Our lab staff will speak
only English. We encourage you to do so also.
This is a credit lab. Students must check-in and check-out. Hours are
accumulated and reported to instructors. At no time may students leave without checking
out. Students who leave the lab for mor than 10 minutes will be
checked out. Please remember that we cannot transfer
hours between classes, so check in for the class you need when
you come in.
Minutes
shown on the report are a percentage of the academic hour, based on 61
minutes. Example: .30 is 18 minutes (30% of 61 minutes, the
academic hour).
Do not ask for a separate printout or your lab hours from us. You
can check all lab hours from "My GCC". See the directions
on how to do this from the previous page
How to access your lab hours
There is a “Student Record of Lab Hours”
form available for you to keep track of your own hours for each
class if you wish. Ask for one from your teacher or from the lab.
Help
us speed up the check-in process by thinking ahead and being
prepared. Know which class you want to check in for, for example
ESL 125, Spanish 101, etc. Tell the lab staff specifically what
you want to do - tapes, video, grammar, spelling, etc.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR
ENSURING THAT RESOURCES YOU CHECK OUT ARE CHECKED BACK IN BEFORE YOU
LEAVE.
You
can only check in for one class at a time but you can switch classes
just by letting us know.
Check
in for the proper class - we cannot make changes later or adjust
student hours.
Students
will be asked to leave 10 minutes before closing each day.
The
lab will close during College holidays. Please refer to the
student course schedule.
No
visiting/loud talking or disturbing others who are studying.
You
must use lab resources while doing hours for credit - NO doing
HOMEWORK or assignments for other classes!! There are other
locations on campus for studying. You will be asked to leave if
you do other than ESL/Foreign Language work in the lab.
Resources
are first come, first served. If there are no available
stations, you may wait outside or return later.
Students are to work on instructional software available in the lab.
Internet access should be limited to class purposes. If you need
to use the internet for personal activities, please use the SG and SR
Computer Labs. Please link to the
Computer Center for further details about their services and
policies.
The
lab is busiest during 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. Try coming in the afternoons
or evenings.
Only
GCC credit students are allowed in the lab, except for Non-credit ESL,
as space permits.
