CS Honours UG and CS Taught PG students will need to use their CS domain account to login to departmental labs. Mathematics UG and Mathematics Taught PG students should use their central STUDENTS domain account.

Your account is for your use only.
Your account is for your use only, allowing others to use your account is in breach of the University's Information Security Policy and could lead to disciplinary action.

Lab Etiquette

No smoking, eating or drinking in the labs.

Please keep the labs tidy. Unwanted printout should be placed in the blue "Paper Only" recycling bins.

Please wear headphones when listening to music, and leave the lab when using your mobile phone.

When you have finished, log off and switch off the monitor. Please do not shut down the PC.

Printers and Paper

Printing facilities are provided in all departmental labs. Printing is currently free of charge.

Paper is available from 4B81. Please don't use your own paper or re-use old paper as this can cause jams and other printer failures.

Printing problems and paper jams should be reported to CSG.

Saving Work

When you login in a departmental PC lab, Windows drive H is a network connection to your home directory. All of your work should be saved in your home directory on drive H.

Files left anywhere else, such as on your desktop or on the PC's local disk, may be unsafe, inaccessible from elsewhere and not backed up. Files saved on H are backed up daily.

Files saved on your Desktop or under My Documents will slow down your login and logout times.

Lab Software

The installation of additional software by students is not permitted. If software you believe is necessary for coursework is missing you should consult your course director. If an item of general-purpose software appears to be missing, report it as a fault to CSG.

Fault Reporting

Many of the services provided in the labs are monitored remotely, but it is not a good idea to assume that we will know about any particular fault this way.

If you find a problem with any of the lab equipment please report it to CSG. Don't assume that someone else will have reported the problem already. If we don't know about a fault, we can't fix it!
