ACCC Math Learning Center - Laptop Usage Policy (Draft)

 
  • In addition to the Laptop Usage Policy defined here, use of the MLC laptops constitutes acceptance of the ACCC Acceptable Use Policy, in addition to other policies available at: http://www.uic.edu/depts/accc/policies
  • Laptop check out is limited to current UIC students/faculty and staff with valid ACCC netid credentials.
  • Priority use of laptops is for Math Department faculty and students using the MLC for math assistance.
  • Two photo IDs are required on laptop checkout: 1) UIC icard and 2) a government-issued photo ID (e.g., drivers's licence or state ID card, passport)
  • Network access to this lab is the same as other ACCC labs: if your lab account is suspended or if your ability to connect wirelessly is denied, we must reject your request to check out a laptop. The login process will fail.
  • Laptop usage limit is 3 hours.
  • You may connect your own devices to the laptop ports at your own risk. If the device is not supported without additional software installed, a request will have to be sent to lan@uic.edu for the request to be considered. Please note that the consultant on duty CANNOT help you with this request.
  • email will be sent to you (at netid@uic.edu) each time a laptop is checked out or checked in. We recommend you keep these email receipts as records of your activity.
  • Until thoroughly tested and revised, we ask that the laptop Login and Logoff process be done in the presence of the ACCC consultant.
  • An integrity check is run upon laptop check in. Users should remain present until that process is completed.
  • Damage to the laptop incurred during the time you have it checked out will be charged to your UIC account, viewable via e-Bills. Charges will vary according to the cost of restoring the machine to working condition up to the full amount of replacing the laptop ($1750).
  • The MLC closes at 6pm. Laptops should be checked in by 5:40pm so that all check in procedures can be completed.
  • A user associated with a stolen laptop (i.e., checked out to that individual when stolen) will have a police report filed against them and full laptop replacement charges will be made to their University account (e-Bills).
  • Questions or concerns about MLC use and policies should be directed to lan@uic.edu.
