Computer Lab Rules

DACC provides several computer labs throughout campus for our students to use.  A schedule for the open labs can be found on the DACC website at https://dacc.edu/computer-labs.  With the service/facilities, students are asked to obey the following rules to ensure an environment that is conducive to student success:

  • Students must be prepared to show DACC student ID and photo ID (Driver's License) when requested by Lab Monitor, DACC Security or other DACC staff.
  • Eating and drinking are strictly prohibited in computer labs at all times.
  • NO SMOKING! Smoking is not allowed in any DACC building.
  • Do not place books or personal belongings on any printer, monitor, or computer equipment. This can interfere with hardware operation and/or inhibit proper cooling functions for the equipment.
  • Students are responsible for cleaning up any area they use-this includes discarding scrap paper or printouts in their proper recycling or trash receptacle.
  • The computer lab is a study and learning environment. Please be considerate of other students' rights by being quiet.
  • With the exception of the Library, children are not allowed in the computer labs at any time.  The Library may on occasion allow children that are accompanied by an adult in the computer lab with permission of Library staff.
  • Loading or installation of any software/programs/games on hard drive is prohibited. In addition, any alteration of system settings or configuration is prohibited.
  • The display or transmission of threatening, obscene, or harassing materials is prohibited.
  • Students must silence cell phones while using the computer lab.
  • Students must sign in and out when sheets are provided in the computer labs.
  • The connection of outside equipment to DACC computer equipment is prohibited unless specific authorization is granted.
  • Students must limit their printing of documents to less than 15 pages unless authorization is granted from DACC staff.

DACC reserves the right to suspend or terminate computer lab access to any campus user if the violation is deemed severe or the use is impacting the educational experience of other users.
