In order to provide continuing, effective services to all of Hunter's students we have established certain policies to ensure accessibility and to foster an environment conducive to learning. These policies exist to maintain the labs in the best possible condition and ensure they remain available to all of the Hunter student body. We appreciate your compliance with these regulations.

Regulations

• DO NOT BRING FOOD OR DRINKS INTO THE FACILITY.
• Cell phones may not be utilized in the labs. Please turn them off prior to entering.
• Please sign in when entering the lab.
• If there are no computers available, a waiting list is implemented. Sign your name in at the front desk, and computers will be assigned on a first come first served basis. If your name is called from the list and you are not present, you WILL lose your place.
• If you leave your work station for more than 15 minutes, we reserve the right to reassign that computer to the next individual on the waiting list.
• We reserve the right to ask you to relinquish your computer if you are utilizing it only for recreational purposes while we have a waiting list. Term papers take precedence over chat rooms.
• The printing facilities may not be utilized for mass quantities of personal or business related materials. They are intended for course related work only. For your convenience copying is available.
• As we often schedule classes during open business hours, all of the labs may not be available at all times. If a class is scheduled to take place in the room in which you are currently working, you will be asked to vacate at least ten minutes prior to the class commencing. All attempts will be made to relocate you to one of other labs.

User Responsibilities
