OIT Computer Lab Rules
The UNLV computer labs are provided to support the academic computer
needs of all currently enrolled UNLV students. Use of the labs for
other purposes, commercial or otherwise, is prohibited. The rules
below are intended to maintain an environment in the labs where all
students can work effectively.
Violation of these rules could result in suspension from the lab.
- Students must have their UNLV identification card with them to
use any UNLV computer lab.
- An account that allows access to the UNLV computer labs can be
obtained by currently enrolled UNLV students. However, this account
is to be used only by the student to whom it is given. Do not share
your account with anyone else.
- Lab patrons may not duplicate or use copyrighted materials without
appropriate licenses and/or permission.
- All users must respect the privacy of others, and courteous behavior
is expected in the facilities.
- Lab patrons are expected to maintain the decorum of a library
at all times. No user may engage in behavior that will disturb
or distract other students. The use of cell phones in the facilities
is restricted. Phones should be taken outside when receiving a
call, and ringers should be turned to vibrate when possible.
- Changing the current hardware and software configuration is prohibited.
To make specific or unusual hardware or software requests, contact
the Computer Facilities Manager.
- Students may use their own specialty paper in the facilities.
However, they must ask the on-duty lab monitor to inspect the paper
before putting it into the printer.
- Users may not engage in behavior that creates a hostile atmosphere
for other students wishing to use the lab. For further explanation
of this rule see policy below:
Policies and Procedures Regarding Offensive Behavior in Computer
Facilities
- The computer facilities at UNLV are solely intended to support
the academic computer needs of all students. Offensive behavior
by some can create an environment that detracts from the ability
of others to fully utilize the facilities. Loudness or otherwise
creating a disturbance is behavior incompatible with the proper
function of the facilities. People persisting in engaging in such
impermissible behavior will be asked to leave.
- The computer facilities at UNLV exist to assist students in their
academic work. This includes both formal assignments and informal
supplemental learning and research. The use of the computer facilities
for non-academic purposes is prohibited.
While offensive behavior is impermissible, using material, for
academic purposes, that others might find offensive is protected
by both the First Amendment and the NSHE Computing Resources Policy.
However, as UNLV is a university community, the spirit of civility
requires that all computer facilities users show respect and consideration
for the sensibilities of others.
- Students who are planning to work with material
that others might find offensive -- such as vulgar language, explicit
sexual material or material from hate groups -- should attempt,
whenever possible, to use computers whose screens are least likely
to be viewed by passersby. If a student is offended by material
displayed prominently on a computer screen, he or she should inform
the facilities staff who will resolve the problem based on procedures
established by the Computer Facilities Office. We all share the
goal of keeping the UNLV computer facilities an environment where
all students feel free to work. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
