Who
can use the BC LABS?
The Business
Division Computer LABS are used by the ACCT, CIS, and COMAP
Departments. Accounts are created at the beginning of the
semester for students that are registered in these Departments.
Late registering student may have to have their instructor
request an account for them or provide proof of registration
to the LTA. Other Business
Division Departments may obtain access privileges for
their students when the instructor e-mails the student’s
full name to the ICLC. The student will have to provide their
Social Security Number to the ICLC when they come in to activate
their account. Do NOT e-mail this information.
Students
enrolled in late start classes will not have access until
the first day off class. Students enrolled in short classes
will not have access after their class has ended. Students
who drop all Business Division classes will have their access
revoked.

What
resources are available?
The BC LABS have 150 computers approximately 30 in each of
our 5 LABs running Windows 2000 Professional for instructional
use. These computers are used primarily for classroom instruction.
The open lab, usually, BC315, is available for drop in use
during most of our hours
of operation. All of our computers have 3 ½”
floppy disk drives, CD-ROM drives, 250MB zip drives that can
be used with either 250MB zip disks or 100MB zip disks, and
USB ports that may be used for transferring files to or from
an USB thumb drive. Use of other USB devices is a
violation of our LAB
Rules.. Personal computers/laptops may not be
plugged into our network at any time. A 4 MB network storage
location is provided to all students with USER IDs.

Printing
Students are permitted to print one draft and one final copy
of assignments for the Business Division. Assignments for
other classes and personal items may be printed in the LRC
& Library
for a fee. The BC LABS are currently using recycled paper
to print on (one side has been previously used). All instructors
for the Business Division have agreed that it is acceptable
for assignments to be turned in on this type of paper, provided
that the student puts a line through the previously used side.
Printing from the Internet is not allowed.
