Save all your files in a folder with your name in the Documents or My Documents folder. Remember to back up all your files on zip disks or CD-ROMs because we cannot guarantee that they will not be erased.
The studio will be open for homework and lab hours during the week at specifc times. Please check the schedule before you come in, it is very important that you do not interrupt ongoing classes.
It is very important that you take care of the equipment, the installations and the supplies. There are many people that will be using them, so be respectful and leave things as you found them.
There are two laser printers available to all the students, both color and greyscale. Use them, but don’t abuse them. The Epson large format deskjet printer is also available, but only with the assistance of an instructor or a lab tech. Any custom paper you want to use must be okayed by the lab assistant or instructor before printing.
The printers are for printing projects and lab assignments from the multimedia classes only. Please use other printers on campus for printing from the web, email, assignments from other classes or personal documents.
If you do not know how to use some equipment please ask for help.
