The purpose of the computer lab is to provide equipment and facilities in which MHCC students and faculty can develop computer skills and complete classroom assignments required for courses offered at MHCC. YOU ARE REQUIRED to check in and out EACH TIME that you use the computer lab. Please sign the log in book on the counter or at the lab monitor station.

NOTE!!! THE LABS MAY BE RESERVED AT ANY GIVEN TIME. MAKE IT A HABIT TO CHECK ANY ROOM RESERVATIONS SIGNS OUTSIDE THE LABS.

AVOID FRUSTRATIONS - ROUTINELY CHECK FOR UPDATES AND CHANGES!!!

Virus protection is provided on all the computers in the lab areas. Know where your disk has been. The intentional spreading of computer viruses is a crime. Mt. Hood Community College will pursue the imposition of disciplinary sanctions on students (consistent with local, state and federal law) up to and including expulsion and referral for prosecution for violations.

Here are a few general tips on lab use. They are intended to help both new and returning students:

Computer hardware and software usage is limited to authorized class related research and assignments only. Unauthorized, inappropriate, or personal use may result in loss of lab privileges. This includes e-mail, chat rooms, and other internet areas. There is no privacy - your lab activity can and will be monitored locally and remotely.
All printers are connected through the network. One printer serves several PCs. If paper is needed in any of the printers, notify the computer aide on duty.
Be sure to close all applications properly. Exiting correctly helps to assure disk space on the file servers. After exiting all programs, leave the computer on and at the desktop screen.
Please be gentle with the disks. Don't slam the disks in forcefully. ROUGH TREATMENT CAN AND WILL DAMAGE YOUR DISKETTE.
When using a CD ROM, be sure to put the CD in the ROM drive - if you have not used a CD before, ask a computer aide for assistance.
Students cannot install any software without authorization from Computer Services.

Individuals requiring accommodations due to a disability or needing accessible formats should contact the Disability Services Office at 503-491-7670(TDD). Please call at least 2 weeks in advance to ensure availability.
