Lab Rules

Rules and expected behaviour across all SEPS Labs:

  • These facilities are provided by the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences. Access is only given to Computer Science students, and should not be given to anyone else.

  • Unless prearranged with SEPS Technicians, machines should only be used for educational purposes — gaming is prohibited.

  • Disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated, quiet working should always be maintained.

  • If audio is required, you must wear headphones.

  • Absolutely no food or drink is to be consumed in the labs, this also applies to food and drinks with lids.

  • Respect your environment – labs should be left tidy ready for the next set of students to use. Please tuck in your chair when you leave the desk.

  • Staff and/or demonstrators may ask you to leave if you are not part of a timetabled event. If asked, please leave in an orderly fashion.

  • Between 18:00 and 08:00 ensure you are aware of and adhere to lone working policy (lncn.ac/lwp), and sign the Lone Working Register in INB Lobby (next to the double automatic doors).

  • Check the digital signage next to the door to the labs before you enter. If the lab is in maintenance, do not enter.
