COLLEGE OF CREATIVE ARTS COMPUTER LAB (CACL) 1600 Holloway Avenue San Francisco, CA 94132 Tel: 415/338-2466

CACL User Contract Fall 2007--Spring 2008

By using the Creative Arts Computer Lab, you are acknowledging that you have read and agree to abide by the CACL User Agreement.

Access to the lab is on a drop-in, machine-available basis. All Creative Arts majors and any student registered in a Creative Arts class may use the lab. Facilities are also available to CA faculty and staff.

Lab Monitors will assist you to the best of their ability, especially when using common software such as Photoshop. Most lab monitors can help you with Final Cut Pro.

THIS IS OUR NUMBER ONE RULE IN THE LAB: No food or drinks, including water bottles, at work stations or on the floor. Please leave containers outside the lab.

Sign in with the lab monitor, and leave your Student ID card. If checking out a peripheral, leave another form of identification in addition to your Student ID card.

Do not change hardware or software configurations. Ask for help.

You can temporarily save your work to the USER: STUDENT:DOCUMENTS folder. Make sure you create a self-named folder in which to store your files. This is not the best way to manage your work. You should store your work on your own external hard drive or disks. If we need to erase the entire contents of a computer’s memory, we’ll try to rescue all files in the Students: Documents folder, but we can’t guarantee it. If you are unable to transfer your work to an external drive or disk, ask the lab monitor how to upload it to the CACL server space for retrieval later. Be advised – we have no control over when or why files are deleted from this server.

The CACL has a zero tolerance policy on inappropriate behavior directed at lab monitors or student users. Students in violation of this policy may be reported to the appropriate campus administrative offices, including the police, and may be barred from the CACL drop-in hours. If you have an issue with any CACL policy, contact the lab manager, Vicki Anderson, 415/338-2466, CA 255A, vickia@sfsu.edu.
