Code of Conduct
Your Account
- School computer accounts are normally set up automatically
for all registered students and should be usable by the beginning
of each session. However, if you do not have an account check
with the Laboratory Manager. The login name is a lower-case
"z" followed by your student number. You should change your
password on first login.
- User accounts do NOT become active until the student has completed
a sign-on procedure to indicate acceptance of the terms and
conditions listed here.
- All users are responsible for their own accounts. Passwords
should not be made available to anyone. Also, it is important
to choose a password you can remember easily, as resetting passwords
is an inconvenient process. Passwords may be changed by users
at any time.
- Users should log-out before leaving the lab.
- In addition to the School's sign-on procedure, every student
will also need to go through a similar process provided by the
Communications
Unit of the Division of Information Services. Once the "Agree
to the Rules" process is complete, the student will have
access to their official UNSW e-mail account and to the University
Dial Up Service (UDUS) modem pool.
Code of Conduct and Rules
Security
Access to the Laboratory requires your student card to be validated
by UNSW Security for use on the Cardax swipe card system. Do not
tamper with the Cardax security lock on the door. If you are enrolled
in a course from the School you should have access. If not, a
form can be obtained from the School Office or the Laboratory
Manager. The form must be signed by Leon Daras (School Office)
or the Lab Manager and taken to Security (in the Red Centre building).
Email and Internet Access
- The laboratory is currently connected to the University Network
and to the Internet. Every enrolled student has email on the
university mail server, which can be accessed if you have your
UNIPASS and UNIPIN. For further information check the Disconnect
website.
- Access is provided to the Internet and World Wide Web for
bone fide university work. Be aware that providing access to
the Web is monitored, does cost money and the privilege can
be revooooked if abused.
- There is limited storage available for files, so downloading
of data should be kept to a minimum. The Lab Manager may remove
excessively large files from the system without warning.
Printing
Students should follow the described printing
procedures for payment for the use of the laser printer, A3
and A0 plotters.
Backups and Archives
- Every user is responsible for backing up their own work.
- There is no recovery mechanism for accidental deletion of
files.
- Nightly backups are not performed on the system. There may
be backups performed at unspecified intervals. For information
see the Lab Manager.

Laboratories are bound by University rules and specifically the

- Downloading unauthorised software is forbidden.
- Harassment of lab users will be treated as a serious matter.

card is not permitted.

with them in case of emergency.
- In accordance with UNSW OH&S guidelines, students are advised
not to be in the lab after hours on their own. Be accompanied
by at least one other person.
- After hours parties are NOT allowed in the lab. It would be
a shame to have to ban all student access to the computers after
hours, because of the irresponsible actions of a few.

All accidents and any other problems must be reported the laboratory
manager promptly.
