| CAD Lab Access Policy!
CAD Lab Access Policy 1. Opening Hours: The CAD Labs are open for all users with a valid CAD Lab login during the following hours:
All students who do not have restricted hours access must leave the CAD Labs at the end of the opening hours. 2. Restricted Access: Access to the CAD Labs will be granted only to students with valid student Identification and active access cards. Access is for the Cad Labs B111 and C238 7 days a week until 2:00 am only. There will be no overnight privileges. Students in semesters 4, 5 and 6 with a valid CAD Lab login will be allowed access. Students must go to B195 or B204 to obtain an access card. Students must meet with Wes Tanney to have their cards activated and to read and accept the terms and conditions as follows: Terms and Conditions · There are no in and out privileges. · Students will not prop open doors or allow access to any ineligible students. · Students will not eat or drink in the labs. · Students will leave the labs in a clean and tidy state. · Students will not abuse the plotters by wasting precious supplies (paper, ink etc) · Guests of students (individuals who do not have a CAD Lab account and active access cards) are not allowed in the CAD Labs. · Students will behave in a manner consistent with all Sheridan policies as posted on the website. 3. Special Access: In certain situations such as the weekend before exam week, the CAD Labs will be open for students to plot and work. Those who are not granted restricted access can use the CAD Labs during these periods provided they sign up in advance on the access lists that will be given to security. These lists will be in B113b for the week leading up to the access weekend. 4. CAD Lab Environment: · No food allowed in the CAD Labs. · No drinks allowed in the CAD Labs with the exception of closed bottles. Coffee cups, open cans or any other containers that can cause a spill are a hazard and are not allowed near the computers or equipment. · Students are not allowed to use the podiums or the projectors except during class activities and then only with the permission of the instructor. · Do not unplug computers or monitors. Find an open network jack or an available power plug. · Respect other CAD Lab users. Keep the music and sound levels low. 5. CAD Lab login and account security: During periods of low computer demand, students can login to more than one CAD Lab workstation if necessary. After you login, it is recommended that you: · Do not leave your workstation unattended. · Lock the workstation if you have to temporarily leave the vicinity. · Always log off when you are finished. 6. Overnight and after hours rendering: Students may run the workstations overnight for rendering or complex calculations. The procedure for doing this: a. Logon to one or more workstations after regular opening hours. b. Prepare your files and set the software to render to the local hard drive (D: drive). c. Run the render. Wait until the first frame has rendered (to ensure that it will not ask for any additional maps or bitmaps etc..). d. Lock the workstation. e. Place a sign on the computer that says “Rendering – please don’t touch”, then exit the CAD Lab. f. Return early the next morning before the first class in the room, unlock the workstation and copy the results from the local hard drive. NOTE: If a class starts in the room where workstations are locked, the workstations will be powered off and restarted to accommodate the class. 7. Locking CAD Lab workstations during opening hours: Due to high enrolment and multiple classes and programs using the CAD Labs, locking a computer for a long period during opening hours is not allowed. It is recommended you do not try to render during opening hours. If a class starts in the room where workstations are locked, the workstations will be powered off and restarted to accommodate the class. Students sitting ‘guarding’ their workstations will be asked to leave the room. 8. Proper use of the CAD Lab equipment The CAD Lab is an educational environment. Using the CAD Lab software for any other use (such as commercial or business use) is prohibited. Failure to abide by these policies will result in disciplinary action, up to and including suspension of your CAD Lab account.
