At the College of Saint Mary, our mission is to create an environment that is conducive to the needs of the students and their academic endeavors.  Our goal is to provide a pleasant atmosphere, adequate lab support, and good customer service.  The following policies should be followed by ALL Computer Lab users to ensure a positive experience for all students. 

Environment 

The computer labs should be a quiet environment where students can work on their academic studies.    

1.     No loud music or loud audio should be played in the labs without headphones. 

2.     No children are allowed in the computer labs.  There are study rooms and laptops available in the Library where students with children may go to study. 

3.     Cell phone calls should be taken outside the labs in the hallway. 

Equipment 

To keep the equipment in the labs in good working condition: 

1.     No food is allowed in any of the computer labs. 

2.     Only covered drinks (drinks with lids) are allowed in the computer labs.  (Please leave covered drinks on the middle table in the lab and keep them sealed while in the labs.) 

3.     Absolutely no changes to the computer systems (hardware or software) should be made without permission from the IT Department. 

Scheduling 

The computer labs can be reserved for campus functions (classes, events, meetings, etc.) through the Information Center.  However, Lab 218 will not be reserved and will remain open for general student use.  Lab users should observe all lab reservations and use Lab 218 when other labs are reserved.
