Computer Facilities Guidelines

Location: Beckett Building, Room 204
Phone: 995-1068
Lab Hours

Please read and comply with the following guidelines when using NMC's computer facilities:

  • Available hours are posted in each facility. Entry to the lab is prohibited during closed hours.
  • To protect the equipment and software, no food or beverages are allowed in the lab.
  • Think of the lab as you would a library-talking is fine, but please keep your voice down.
  • Time limits are not imposed on computer usage-although priority use will be given to students for homework, research, or other school-related activities.
  • Please do not ask to use the phone in the computer lab unless it is an emergency. There are pay phones in the building.
  • Always leave your work space clean and neat when finished.
  • Please use the recycle bins for office paper; white and colored, post-it notes, NCR paper, magazines, newspaper, cardboard, envelopes w/o windows! Non-recyclable: staples, window envelopes, food material (pizza boxes, sandwich wrappers) are to be put in the trash, not the recycling bin.
  • The use of cell phones is disruptive to student learning as is prohibited in computer facilities,
  • Each computer facility has stations designated as handicap accessible. These stations should be among the last used, so they can be kept free for students in wheelchairs.
  • Printing costs must be paid before you leave the facility. Deposit printing money in the container provided next to the printer. The staff person on duty can make change. Color printing, if available, must be paid prior to printing. Please see a staff member for assistance.
