2 Required Enforcement Policies for Students You are required to enforce these rules in the labs, NO EXCEPTIONS: 1. NO food, tobacco, or open drinks in ANY lab. If students wish to consume any of the following, they must do so outside of the labs. Here is a reference for you: No Food of ANY type. -ALSO- No fountain drinks, cans, or anything with an open lid. No Tobacco of ANY type. This includes items such as: Dip Chaw/Chew Cigarettes Pipes Bottles WITH CAPS are permitted: NEVER in sight NEVER on the desk. ONLY in their bags. 2. No playing games in the lab on lab equipment or networks. 3. Do not let students use the manual feed trays on the printer or do any printer maintenance. You are responsible for fixing jams, changing toner, and filling paper. 4. No looking at offensive or pornographic web material. 5. No listening to music without headphones. 6. The projector is off-limits to all students and consultants. Double check to make sure that the projector is off at the beginning and end of each shift. The bulbs are very expensive and cost the college hundreds of dollars each year. This means NO watching videos on the projector during your shift. 7. Labs should be kept organized and clean, this includes chairs pushed in and computers straightened. Failure to do so will result in a STRIKE. 2

3 Student Disciplinary Action If a student is causing problems in the labs, these steps must be followed in order. ******************************************************************* Upon a student s violation of KNOY Lab policy, begin by stating the following ******************************************************************* 1. As an ECN Lab Consultant I have to ask you to please Remove Food, Drink, or Tobacco Products from the lab Stop disturbing others Viewing inappropriate material Listening to Music w/out Headphones or you will be asked to leave. ******************************************************************* Wait for action to be taken from the student. If you receive negative feedback ******************************************************************* 2. I just wanted to let you know I have been instructed to call Purdue Police and have you removed from the lab if you do not comply with lab policy. ******************************************************************* Wait for action to be taken from the student. If you receive negative feedback ******************************************************************* 3. Please don't make it come to this because I WILL have you removed. Always be polite and remain calm. If you need to remove a student please ask another consultant to monitor the lab while you call Purdue Police. Please contact ECN s lab management team (which includes the Head Lab Consultant) via if you have someone removed from the lab. Alsoplease include any issues in your shift report. PURDUE POLICE: 911 Theft There have been some incidents of theft in campus computer labs. Always ensure that all students are out of the labs and all doors are completely locked before closing a lab. Check inside of the door for clever methods of reentry. Be sure to check the back doors in labs such as B018, B017, 340 and 422. Do not leave lab for more than 5 min. at a time. NEVER- EVER- EVER- Leave the key box unattended. 3

4 Emergency Procedures Fire Alarm: (The 316A/B consultant should take the keys with him/her in the event of a fire alarm.) 1. Evacuate the lab 2. Go outside to ground level 3. When allowed back into the building, return to your assigned lab. Tornado Warning: (The 316A/B consultant should take the keys with him/her in the event of a tornado warning.) 1. Evacuate the lab 2. Go down to the basement 3. When the warning is over, return to your assigned lab. Consultant Responsibilities and Procedures Your first responsibilities are to the student. Please help students with any problems they may have. If you do not have the answer, ask other lab consultants to help. You may work on your own homework as long as the students do not have any questions and all other duties are finished. Check the printer levels and fill paper at beginning and end of every shift if necessary. Keep track of the amount of paper that you fill and submit the number with your shift report at the end of the shift. Push in chairs, pick up papers, and straighten monitors as needed. The labs need to be in fantastic shape at all times. This will ensure that we are able to continue to have labs open for students in the College of Technology. Procedures for submitting Shift Reports Please make sure that you are VERY familiar with this section. This section describes all of the procedures for submitting shift reports. A status report must be sent at the end of every shift. This should be done using the consultant website, Under the Schedules tab is a link to a web form for this purpose. Fill out the form and submit it. If for some reason the website is down you will be required to send the shift report via . The subject line should read: Your Name/Lab#/Day & Time (i.e. Ally Gray/340/Monday 5:30-8:30PM). The Body of message should include the amount of paper/toner changed, any problems that occurred during the shift and whether or not the paper cabinets in your area are low. *Please note that 5:30-11:30PM is TWO shifts and will require a report sent at 8:30 & 11:30! 4

5 If you are the 11:00PM (or 5:00PM Friday) room 422 consultant: DO NOT turn off the consultant computer at the end of the night. The closing consultant will use this to submit his/her shift report. If you are the 11:30PM room 316A/B consultant: You will submit your shift report from the 422 consultant computer before you leave the building. This lets us know how long it took you to close down the building. Closing down the building should not take longer than mins. Add any issues during shift/closing to the Problems field. Shut down room 422 consultant computer when you are done. New for Fall 2013: All the computers in rooms B018, 310A, 310B, 316A, 316B, and 340 were moved from the legacy SOT domain to the ECN domain during the summer. These computers should remain powered on 24/7. If you are the consultant in these rooms at closing time, please leave the computers on. Example shift report data for closing consultant.
