Computer Lab Policies

Violation of any of these rules is cause for removal from the lab.

• NIU computer lab policies and NIU email policies also apply to the college computer labs.
• The printing limit will be announced each semester. Do not exceed the print limit by printing excessive material. Wasteful printing will result in an increase in lab fees.
• Internet access is set up for academic development and research.
• Log out of the computer/workstation if you won't be using it for more than 10 minutes. Do not setup window-based passwords or screen saver passwords to reserve a computer.
• No computer games allowed in the lab, downloading software without proper authorization will result in loss of account privileges.
• Do not vandalize computers. Deletion of files or movement of files or leaving files in public directories is considered a severe transgression.
• All individuals will be responsible for following the CEET and NIU policies dealing with computers, software, e-mail and the entire range of information technology resources.
