Using the
Computer Lab
 |
All students are required to
check-in at the reception desk. Use of a computer will be
granted upon the presentation of a Valid University
ID card.
|
 |
Computers are available on a
first-come first-served basis. Moreover, the Lab will reserve
some computers when formal classes are in session. Other than
these caveats, all use of the lab depends on availability
of equipment.
|
 |
A variety of programs (software)
are available for use in the lab. These programs have been
specifically configured for our computers and peripherals.
No software may be copied to or from any PC without special
permission from the Lab Coordinator.
|
 |
Data disks are required to use
most software. The computers use 3.5 inch floppy disks for
the storage of data. Students may purchase blank diskettes
at the McGill Bookstore or at the Media Center ( located on
the 1st floor). |
