Computing Lab Policy Purpose: Trinity University maintains computing labs for academic, instructional, research, administrative and public service purposes. This policy is in place to ensure that the computing labs are kept functioning at an optimal level of effectiveness for all users.
Scope: All persons using Trinity University Computer Labs and equipment must abide by this policy. Violation of these policies may result in loss of computer lab privileges and other disciplinary action as described in the various handbooks issued by the University to students, faculty, and staff.
Policy: Persons using laboratory equipment must have a Trinity University ID card valid for the current semester and must be able to produce the card upon request. University computer labs must be used in a manner consistent with the policies of Trinity University including the "Acceptable Use Policy". All persons using the lab are responsible for backing up their own data and protecting their own information. Printing from lab machines can be sent to a (Tiger Card's) Pharos Print station. A Trinity University Tiger Card or guest print card will be needed to purchase printing. Food, beverages, tobacco use, weapons, firearms or animals, except service animals, are prohibited in the labs. Audio output or sound playing devices are permitted only with the use of headphones. Use of two-way communication devices are prohibited in the labs. Ringers and alarms on these devices should be turned off or set to vibrate while in the labs. Children are permitted in labs only if accompanied by a TU faculty or staff. Whenever others are waiting, computer use is restricted to one-hour sessions. Games that are part of class assignments are subjected to the time limits stated above. ITS lab equipment may not be used for business purposes or in any for-profit venture. Disabling computers by disconnecting cables, removing hardware, applying software locks or locking workstations will be considered vandalism and treated as such under University policy. ITS employees, including ITS student workers, are responsible for maintaining order in the labs. Anyone violating these policies, or disturbing others in any way, will be asked to leave. Persons with special needs requiring special access to computer laboratory equipment may contact Coordinator of Disability Services @999-7411.
