Code of Conduct

The lab facilities are a common resource available to all faculty and students of the Stritch School of Medicine. In order to provide a safe and secure computing environment, rules of conduct have been developed for the lab. Please read the following rules carefully and abide by them. Activity in the lab is monitored through review of "audit logs". Violations of these codes will be subject to disciplinary actions.

Do not remove materials from the lab, or move them from one room to another. This includes ethernet cables, mice and speakers. Items can be checked out for use in the CALL between the hours of 9:00 and 5:00. Please refer to the Materials Check Out section for regulations governing software use in the lab.
Do not make unauthorized copies of software. Unauthorized copying includes anything that violates the license agreements packaged with the software. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse! That being the case - when in doubt, don't copy!
Do not download software or pornography onto the network or local hard disks of computers in the building. Any violation of this policy can easily be traced back to you.
Do no save any personal documents on public computers. There is a program installed on the CALL computer that erases any change that has been made to the computer each time the compuer is restarted. Thus, upon restart, any documents saved to the C: drive will be erased, returning the computer to the original configuration. Please save any documents to your U: drive instead.
Do not send unsolicited e-mail with pornographic or other objectionable attachments.
Do not borrow or attempt to acquire the passwords of other users as this is a breach of network security and privacy of your fellow users.
Do not attempt to break into systems that you are not authorized to use.
Do not eat or drink while working on the computers.
Do not attempt to modify the setup of the computers in the building. If you have suggestions for improvement, please discuss with a member of the CALL staff, and they will implement if necessary.
Print judiciously. Whenever possible, take advantage of the duplex option on the printers, and only print what you need.
During periods of high demand, be mindful of the fact that others may need to use the computers.
