When is there open lab, shop, or studio time?
• When a class is not scheduled in the shop, a lab or studio, it can become available or “open” for use by students as determined by the Technology Department. Open labs have a definitive starting and ending time. When the allotted time is over, students must leave the room. • Scheduled classes have first priority in using the facilities. When a scheduled class begins, the open time is closed. Students should limit the time used on equipment to the completion of necessary tasks. Please plan projects accordingly. • At an instructor’s discretion and with his/her permission, other students can use open seats for open lab time in a computer classroom. If an exam is being taken or reviewed, the instructor may close the open time. If a student disrupts the class or other users in any way, the instructor may remove the student(s) in question.
