Computer Labs

All instruction will be in a computerized classroom with one workstation per student. Each workstation is connected to the College-wide network, with Internet and e-mail access, so students may e-mail files between the classroom and home.  Class time includes approximately two hours per week of lab time. You will still find it necessary to complete work outside of class.

 

The College has a number of open lab facilities for students. For more information visit the Student Academic Computing Center in room C3-17. Students are expected to utilize College-owned computer facilities as part of this class, including physical facilities, networks and Internet access and to become familiar with the policies and accepted behavior for these facilities. Any violations of their rules that results in a student being removed from or banned from using a College facility are grounds for dismissal from the course -- such as attempting to remove, copy or install software on the College's systems.
