All CIS Lab PCs run Windows XP Professional to provide maximum performance, security, and reliability. Attempting to circumvent security measures on any of our computer systems is considered grounds for loss of lab priviledges, and can get one reported to the Dean of Students for abuse of computing facilities. Signficant problematic activity can also lead to intervention by law enforcement. All lab usage may be monitored at any time without prior notice. Using our computers is a privilege, not a right, and that privilege can be revoked at any time.

Please treat the machines well. Abusing them only decreases the number of machines available for your use. We also ask that you do not smoke, eat, drink, etc. in the lab. Try to be quiet and maintain an atmosphere conducive to work. We also would like to remind you that accessing pornography or other offensive material, sending harassing e-mail, etc. is considered unacceptable and may be grounds for the loss of lab priviledges, disciplinary action, etc.

Read the CIS Department Policies for more complete information on what is expected in the use of departmental facilities, student web pages, etc.

At present the CIS department has two servers, one running Windows 2003 and one running UNIX. If there are any problems with the servers or the lab hardware or software, alert Br. David Carlson or Jessie Vernon (e-mail carlsond@stvincent.edu or jessie.vernon@email.stvincent.edu) at x2416 immediately.
