Main Hall 306 Classroom Policies

  1. On the first day of the lab, the instructor assigns and records a computer laptop number to each student. Once assigned, each student is to use the same numbered laptop for each class session.

  2. The instructor will distribute and, in turn, each student will sign the "Main Hall 306 Computer Lab User Acknowledgment Form". The instructor will keep the signed forms for the remainder of the semester.

  3. Storeroom MH306A remains secured at all times. Prior to the start of each class session requiring the use of laptops, the instructor unlocks the storeroom and signs the "Laptop Accountability Log" acknowledging the presence of ALL laptops. (If a laptop is discovered missing, the faculty should NOT sign the form, but instead, contact Security (53123 or 330-705-0430) or the Business Office immediately.)

  4. Once the Laptop Accountability Log is signed, students may retrieve his/her assigned laptop from the storeroom.

  5. If a laptop(s) is not fully charged, the instructor may switch out the battery for a secondary one located in the storeroom. If the secondary battery is not fully charged, then the laptop(s) must be plugged into the electrical power strip located underneath each classroom table. Each table's power strip must then be plugged into the nearest wall outlet.

  6. At the end of each class session, students are to return his/her laptop to the correct charging station location in the storeroom and plug it in to recharge.

  7. Students may not remove laptops from the classroom for any reason.

  8. Prior to leaving the classroom, the instructor is to again verify that ALL laptops have been returned and placed in the correct charging station. Once verified, the instructor will re-sign the Laptop Accountability Log acknowledging that ALL laptops are present and accounted for. If a laptop is missing, the instructor must immediately notify Security (53123 or 330-705-0430) or the Business Office. In cooperation with the Business Office, the instructor shall make every effort to first contact the student and ensure its immediate return.

  9. If the student-assigned laptop is not returned within 72 hours, the replacement cost of the laptop shall be billed to the offending student.
