Responsibility

The PC Classroom is a scheduled room with a standard setup and is managed by Telecommunications and Audiovisual Support. The PC Classroom is not an open lab for users to come and go. An open lab is available for use in the Farha Medical Library.

The department that schedules the room is responsible for the room and for the individuals using the equipment in that room. This includes insuring that the room is secure, that equipment has been shut down at the end of the session and that the combination has not been given out.

The combination will be changed regularly. Those scheduling the room on a recurring basis will be given the combination. If you regularly schedule the room for your department, please be available to open the classroom for those people when they need to get in. If you schedule the room for a one time use, a staff member from Information Technology will open the room for you.

Hours of Operation

Normal hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Arrangements for off-hours use can be made, but need to be made at least one week in advance. The Instructor will need to make arrangements for off-hours access to the classroom.

Setup

A standard setup is used for any class involving the following software programs:

  • Windows 98
  • Internet Explorer 5.5
  • Groupwise
  • Microsoft Office Suite 2000 (Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint)
  • SAS 6.11
  • SPSS 9.0
  • Epi Info 6.04
  • Microsoft Visio 2000

If a non-standard program (or configuration) needs to be loaded, at least one week needs to be allowed before the class in order to provide adequate time to install and test the software. If applicable, proof of purchase for the number of machines the non-standard software is to be loaded on must be provided by the Instructor before the software is loaded. Please contact Information Technology Services (link to helpdesk e-mail) if you require software loaded in the PC Classroom.

At no time shall the Instructor load the software themselves. The Instructor needs to confirm the working setup at least one day before the class.
