Etiquette

• Patience is a Virtue…When the lab assistants are busy, please be patient.  They are working as prompt as possible and will be with you as soon as they are available.
• Be Courteous… Please don’t sit and talk at your computer station with friends or on your cellular phone.  Lengthy, personal conversations and cellular phone usage should be taken outside of lab area.
• Be Respectful…Group Activity is permitted; however, be respectful of those around you and keep your conversations as quiet as possible.
• Be Considerate…After you are done, leave the PC and workspace as you found it…close all programs, return to the desktop and put in your chair.  This will ensure a tidy workspace for the next person.
• Forgot Your Disk or Flash Drive…Check with the Computer Lab Assistant.
