This is a shortened version of the main applicable requirements for using University Computing Laboratories.  This is not the complete set of requirements for using computing laboratories; the full policy can be found in the Information Services Policy.  You are encouraged to read and understand this before using these systems for the first time and then on a regular basis, at least as often as needed to know and understand the policy.

• Users must not in any way deliberately cause any form of damage to Glasgow Caledonian University’s information technology equipment or software, or to any of the rooms which contain that equipment.
• Users must comply with any instructions or regulations displayed alongside computing facilities.
• Eating is not permitted in any student computer lab.  Students may drink bottled water.  Eating and drinking is permitted in the Learning Café and on the ground floor of Saltire Centre.  Smoking is not permitted on campus. 
• Users must respect the rights of others and should conduct themselves in a quiet and orderly manner when using IT facilities.
• Users must not occupy a computer workstation unless they are actively using it for learning, teaching and research.  Users shall not leave their belongings at a workstation in an attempt to reserve the workstation while they are away for an extended period.  This is applicable in all computer labs, the Learning Café and the Saltire Centre.  Not only do users risk the theft of belongings, it is also preventing the use of the equipment by other users.
• The playing of unauthorised computer games not associated with learning, teaching and research purposes is not permitted.
• No equipment should be moved from its designated place or be tampered with in any way without approval of the relevant staff member in charge of the asset.  This includes changing workstation characteristics.
• Interference with or removal of print outs from a University Printer which belong to another person is not permitted.
• Unless the prior approval of the Chief Information Officer has been obtained, individuals may not establish network connections to University information systems with any device that has not been approved or supplied by the University.
