Cellular Phones
All ringers should be turned off or set to vibrate. All
calls should take place outside of the Writing Center.
Book-drop
In order to minimize clutter and congestion around computers
(and the likelihood of inadvertently unplugging a machine)
clients are to be encouraged to leave their books in the
book-drops. Only the actual materials needed to write and
valuables (purses, wallets) should be taken to the computers.
Computer Software
The UWC uses the Microsoft Office XP word processing applications.
All other word-processing applications, miscellaneous programs, or games are strictly
prohibited. Neither staff nor clients may bring any software
but Mac-compatible 3.5 inch floppy disks to save their work.
Computer-Use
Only one person at a time is permitted to work at each word
processor; if a neighboring computer is unoccupied, a client
may use that chair to help a fellow client (but only if
that computer is not needed). Clients seeking significant
help with work in progress should print a paper copy and
move to the conference area. Clients taking more than a
very brief break (to the bathroom, for example) should relinquish
their machines. Although this policy should be enforced
at all times, it is especially important that we do so during
"peak use" time when the demand for machines is
great.
Using the Printer
Clients should print no more than two copies of any
document. There are many copy machines available on campus
if clients wish to make more copies. Clients are not allowed
to print large documents from the Internet.
Computer and Print Problems
Ask a graduate student to assist you if you need help.
DO NOT shut down a computer without checking with a graduate
student or computer assistant. This is particularly important
if a disk will not eject from the hard drive. Clients should
not shut down the computer.
Internet
Please avoid viewing web sites that are questionable in
taste.
Phone
As a general rule, clients are not to use the phone for
non-emergency calls. Clients are to use the phone outside
by the stairs. Interns and staff are not to use the UWC
phone for personal calls unless it is an emergency. Clients
and staff are not to leave the UWC phone number as a number
at which they may receive calls.
