The Classroom & Computer Lab Environment

Study Areas

There are study areas in the college available to you outside of normal classroom hours. Please see the classroom booking schedule at the Reception Desk for posted Study Hall hours.

Computer Areas

Computers are available for the use of students outside of regular class time provided the lab is not in use. Availability is on a first come first serve basis. The rules in computer areas are as follows:

• Food and drinks are not allowed near computers under any circumstances
• Students are responsible for maintaining a clean work area
• Students are responsible for purchasing their own floppy diskettes or flash drives for data storage
• No personal files are to be saved to the hard drives

Students must be aware that the computer is a shared resource and that others students may be using it as their schedule dictates.

Software Compatibility

As the majority of employers continue to use Office 2003, we will remain with this version until further notice. Please be aware that if you have Office 2007 at home, there may be some incompatibilities. We recommend that you save as an Office 97-2003 document.

Internet and E-mail Rules

The Stenberg College computer labs provide access to the internet for research/job search purposes and to assist students with their studies only. Please be respectful of others and limit your use to thirty minutes when other students are waiting. The following guidelines also apply:
