&bull Food and drink of any form are not allowed in the lab. Bringing either into the lab will result in the loss of all lab privileges.

&bull Do not change desktop preferences or monitor settings.
&bull Do not download any programs under any circumstances.
&bull Do not move equipment from one station to another.
&bull Do not post flyers or leave flyers at the stations. Anything you want posted should be left in the supervisor's office for posting.
&bull Do not litter the lab. Take any trash at your station with you.
&bull Dubbing of materials unrelated to your project will not be tolerated.
&bull No one who is not directly involved in producing your project may be in the lab at any time.
&bull Please put all cell phones on vibrate mode or off and hold conversations outside of the lab. &bull If you must leave to get a drink or make a call, tell the lab attendant when you will be returning and leave a note on your station.

&bull Please label all tapes that you use and turn in any found tapes to lab attendant or supervisor.
&bull Never remove FireWire drives from lab under any circumstances. If using your own drive be sure to label it clearly.
&bull Do not disconnect or rewire the dub station under any circumstances. Dubbing is for editing lab students only and may not be used to dub copyrighted material.
&bull Do not erase anything from the desktop or FireWire drives. Ask an attendant if you are concerned about unknown projects on your hard drive.
&bull Each FireWire drive is partitioned and shared with other students. You are responsible for exchanging phone numbers and coordinating with the students who share your drive to avoid time conflicts. If you are paired with someone who conflicts with your needed times, you may speak to the supervisor about assigning you another drive.
&bull You are entitled to 7 hours per week of reserved booth time and unlimited walk in hours during open lab times. You may reserve time in the black Reservations binder at the lab attendant station.
&bull Do not open lab door if the "Class in session" sign is posted. If a class comes in for a reserved session when you are working, you must leave before the class starts and not return until it is finished.
&bull Do not share your door code with anyone under any circumstances. If you have forgotten or lost your code, ask the lab attendant or supervisor for a new code.
&bull Do not remove headphones from stations. If you need additional headphones, ask a lab attendant.
&bull The use of copyrighted material that is outside of the fair use guidelines without the expressed written permission of the copyright holder is strictly forbidden.
&bull Please be courteous and respectful to the lab attendants and lab users. Report any problems immediately to the supervisor in a written note or email.
&bull The lab is not responsible for any lost tapes, personal items, projects, FireWire drives, or anything that you bring into the lab.
