Allowable Use

• The computers are for work on geographic and cartographic-related class assignments and projects. Other uses are not permitted without permission, e.g. workshops, seminars, internships, other projects and assignments.

Printing

• Although students may use the small inkjet printer (HP 2800) to print final or draft copies, limited access is enforced since this printer is not designed for extensive use.
• Students must be supervised by the instructor or the lab coordinator to use the plotter (HP 800). Plotter paper and ink should be used judiciously. Due to cost and budget constraints draft copies are made on the small printer, reserving the plotter for final outputs.
