LRC Policies:

LRC Usage:

The LRC is open to all Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics students, faculty, and staff, as well as students currently enrolled in an ASE or EM course.

Your UTID is required for lab use and to check out user manuals and equipment.

General Rules:

• Do not lock the computer desktops unless you have received permission from the LRC Management.
• You may use/log into only one workstation at a time.
• Do not allow other persons to use your LRC accounts.
• If the LRC is at full capacity, any computer unattended for more than 15 minutes will be reassigned.
• Those with Key-Card access may not allow unauthorized users after-hours access to the LRC.
• You must receive permission from LRC management before installing software on any LRC system.
• Due to the overwhelming amount of network traffic and The Univeristy of Texas' Copyright Policy (see UT Copyright Policy below), the use of any music/movie downloading/uploading software is not allowed on any LRC system.
• No food is allowed in the LRC at any time; drinks must be in spill-proof containers or have lids.
• The LRC phone is available for your convenience to make outgoing calls. Please keep calls to a maximum of 2 minutes. Please do not take incoming calls on the LRC phone except in cases of emergency.
• Cell phone usage is not allowed in the LRC. Please turn your ringer off and leave the lab to for calls.
• Academic use of the LRC takes precedence over gaming at all times. If the LRC is full, gamers must give up their workstations to students waiting to do academic work.
• Gaming is not permitted during the hours of 8am to 5pm, Monday thru Friday.
• No unattended children are allowed in the LRC.

Data Storage:

Permanent storage is provided in your "Home" directory, which is created along with your account. Temorary data storage space is provided on the "LRC SERVER" in the "Public" directory for ASE/EM Faculty, Staff and Students. Permanent storage is also provided for senior design classes (ASE 174M, ASE 161M, ASE 363Q). Please remove your data by the last day of the semester as the "Public" directory is cleaned before each semester. Zip and floppy drives are installed on the LRC computers so you may save to your own media. The LRC does not provide zip or floppy disks, you can purchase them at the Campus Computer Store.

Please save your work often as computers are subject to crash and/or be reconfigured at any time.

Printing:

Black and white, and color laser printing are provided free of charge for course related activities. The color printer (LRC Color) is restricted to color printouts. Black and white printouts must be sent to the black and white print queue (LRC Laser). Student organizations and individuals must get approval before printing non-class related materials on the color printer. See the Print Quota page for additional information.

Poster Printing:

The LRC has a HP Designjet 800 color poster printer available for course related activities.
