There will be absolutely NO food or drinks allowed in the lab. Cell Phones MUST be turned off at all times during instructional times.

Students will be working on group projects and various programs during the semester. Students may talk and work together if and when appropriate. However, talking must be kept at a low volume. The lab can become quite noisy and disruptive to others in the lab when voices are combined with the equipment running.

Efficiency is a must in the computer lab. However, printing will be kept to a minimum and will be directed by the instructor. Unnecessary printing is not allowed.

E-mail and the Internet is a privilege! Students will be using email to submit most of their assignments and use the Internet for projects/research. Therefore, students must complete an Internet Agreement.
