College and department funded computer labs are sponsored with sacred funds. We have been blessed with superior facilities, and you are expected to respect them. Every person in a college or department lab is expected to live by the Honor Code, respect others, and the equipment around them. To use a CAEDM account, or any college computing resources, a user must agree to the CAEDM Policy. See CAEDM Policy discussion and examples for additional information.
