Alarms/Security
Facilities with alarms are armed whenever a computer drop-in lab or classroom is closed. If you are using an armed facility before or after normal hours, you will be responsible for arming and unarming the alarms. Facilities that are not equipped with alarms are to be locked with the doors closed when not in use.
Pioneer Hall
Drop-in Lab Room 200
The lab attendants will open the doors to the drop-in Rm. 200 in the morning. Instructors do not need a FlexPass or an alarm code if they are only using the upstairs computer classrooms located inside of Room 200 during normal lab hours.
It is the responsibility of the instructors teaching in rooms 200A, B, C or D to monitor the area if their class goes past lab closing time. Students should not be using the Pioneer drop-in lab if a lab attendant is not on duty!
Classrooms 200A, 200B, 200C, and 200D
These rooms require a key to open. This will be done for you during normally scheduled computer lab drop-in hours. If you will need early, late, or weekend access to these rooms please ask your department administrative assistant to request a key for you from Campus Services.
Classrooms 112 & 113
When classes are not in session, the doors remain locked and shut. If you teach in one of these rooms you will need a FlexPass from Computer Services which your department administrative assistant can request for you and an alarm code from the computer lab coordinator. The doors remain unlocked for about 60 seconds when swiped and it is ok for them to be propped open during class.
Library
If you need to use either the drop-in or classroom when the Library is closed, you will need to make arrangements with Campus Services on how to enter the Library, and notify the library staff that you will be using the rooms during off hours. Arming or unarming the alarm, locking or unlocking the rooms, as well as letting students in and making sure they leave the building will be your responsibility.
Drop-in Lab Room 118
A lab attendant will prop open the door to the drop-in the morning. There is no need for a FlexPass or an alarm code if you are only using the computer lab during normal lab hours.
Classroom 117
When classes are not in session the 2 entry doors remain locked and shut. If you teach in this room, you will need a FlexPass from Computer Services and an alarm code from the computer lab coordinator. The door of entry is next to the drop-in computer lab. This door is armed and usually unarmed by the opening computer lab attendant at around 8:00 a.m. The doors remain unlocked for about 60 seconds when swiped and it is ok for the door to be propped open during class.

Check Your Classroom
We strongly encourage you to check out the equipment. Be sure to test both the software you will be using in your class and all projection equipment. This is your responsibility. There is a lab attendant or the computer lab coordinator to assist you during regular lab hours.
Classroom Courtesy
- Do not shut down the instructor station when leaving but instead log off (unless you are the last class of the day.
- Make sure the projector is off.
- Leave the white boards clean.
- If the room you are using has a class scheduled immediately after yours, or if your class is over at lab closing time; please leave in a timely manner.
- If you borrow chairs from another location return them after your class has ended.
- If you are the last class of the day have your students shut down the computers.
Computer Problems
For immediate help contact the lab attendant in the drop-in computer lab closest to your classroom. Lab Attendants are happy to assist you but can only provide limited technology troubleshooting. If it is before 5:00 p.m. they can call the ITS Help Desk for you.
In order to continue providing you with quality labs, the best way to report a problem is to contact the ITS User Services Help Desk.

- If you do not have a User Name or Password email your problem to the computer lab coordinator or ask the lab attendant on duty to email or call her.
Document Storage
Restricted Access

- When the computers are rebooted anything stored in the restricted area of [C:] will be lost.
- Options for document storage include space on the college network or using a USB flash drive.
- The Student's "Documents" folder is located on the desktop of campus computers when logged in.
- Most applications default to the students documents folder but it is always a good idea to check the path a file is being saved to.

Logging Off/Restarting

Shutting Down Computers
It is our policy that as the classroom computers are turned on during the day they remain on until the last class of the day or the lab attendant shuts them down.
When you are teaching past regular hours or when no lab attendant is on duty, it is the instructor's responsibility to see that all computers in their classroom are shut down.
Software Requests
Please submit requests for software changes in the classrooms/labs through the ITS Help Desk system found on the Employee Login web page. Please if needed, have instructions available for your students to follow in the lab. If you do not have a User Name or Password please email requests to your department chair.
Supplies
In the classrooms, we supply staplers and printer paper. White board supplies are the responsibility of the departments.
