Printing is limited to 10 pages per job, and you may print only documents that you created yourself for SBS courses. Please observe printing restrictions -- they are clearly displayed in the ICL.

Class Use:

The primary function of the lab is to serve as a facility where faculty in SBS departments may bring their classes for computer related instruction. Instructors may also arrange for one of the ICL Lab Assistants to conduct a session for their class in a computer-related topic such as word processing, listserv, database, excel, using the web, and/or web page development. The lab is also used for faculty and staff workshops.

Open Access:

When no classes or workshops are scheduled in the lab, open access hours are held so that SBS students may use the lab to complete course-related assignments. Normal hours during fall and spring semesters are 8 AM to 7 PM Monday through Thursday and 8 AM to 6 PM Friday. The lab is closed on weekends and holidays, as well as during spring break and between semesters. The lab is open for classes during the summer, but on a reduced hours schedule.

Human Subjects Requirements:

Individuals wishing to use the ICL for research projects involving human subjects (including offering extra credit to students for participation in the research project) must provide proof of compliance with U of A Human Subjects Committee policies.
