Computer Lab Rules

Login names for the general-purpose computer classrooms/labs on each Seminole State campus are to be used solely by the students to which they are assigned. (Review the violation consequences below.) Any attempt to circumvent security measures will result in the issuing of a formal statement to the Student Disciplinary Committee.

Computer lab users are not permitted to:

• Have food or drinks in any computer lab.
• Install any software on any machine in any Seminole State computer lab.
• Alter a computer's configuration unless directed to do so by an instructor.
• Use instant messaging applications.
• Visit audio/video websites unless directed to do so by an instructor.
• View non-class-related materials on the Internet.
• Participate in wireless communications in the classroom. All cell phones must be set to silent mode while in a Seminole State computer lab, and all calls must be taken or made outside of the labs.

Computer and Internet activity is monitored.

Printing Restrictions

Seminole State uses a pay for print system. Print jobs sent from classrooms can be collected at any multi-function printer located throughout the college, including the library. Students must have funds on their Blue & Gold account in order to release the print job.

Violation Consequences

A first violation of computer lab rules will result in a warning and review of this policy with the student. A violation related to login name sharing will automatically result in a formal statement being submitted to the appropriate campus dean of students. Network access will be revoked until the dean determines and implements an appropriate plan of action.
