Lab Rules

NO FOOD OR DRINK in the lab at any time.  Beverages/snacks should be consumed outside of the lab.

Facilitate navigation – Store large backpacks, food/beverage, large coats, etc. at the storage area near the door.

Sound expectations –  Be considerate to other patrons by keeping noise levels at a minimum. Extended cell phone calls should be taken outside the lab.

Save your work –  Back up your work to your own computer, One Drive, or a remote drive before logging out. There is no guarantee your work will be saved on the hard drive.

Scanning –  Ask for help or follow the steps on the signs to learn the entire process. Scanners may be used for class assignments and Independent Study projects. If you need to scan something that is messy, please ask- there are specific scanners just for that purpose.

Printing is RESERVED FOR ART STUDENTS ONLY and for CLASS and I.S. RELATED WORK – Printing in this lab is checked against your studio fees. Most printing is included in your specific course as part of a lab fee. Printing beyond those allowances is not included and subject to separate billing. Charges for printing include anything that you accidentally print. The lab does not provide printing for personal or campus organization purposes without explicit permission.

Do not change ink cartridges without staff or faculty present – Ink use is strictly budgeted. If you are unable to print due to low ink, come back during supervised lab hours to print your project.

Always log out  –  Respect the equipment and other users. Not logging out after your session creates problems for the next user.

Keep the lab clean – Follow posted instructions. Monitors and scanner glass – spray glass cleaner on cleaning cloths, then wipe the glass. Keyboards and mice – use alcohol wipes when the computer is logged out or off. No paint, clay, glue, or other art media can be used in the Ebert Digital Lab.
