PC Computer Labs
Access labs for enrolled students are available in different buildings on campus. Although you will probably use the lab closest to where your lectures take place, you are entitled to use any labs on this map providing you do not interrupt timetabled classes using the same facilities.
Students should be aware that the playing of games and/or "chat" is strongly discouraged. Students abusing facilities may have access denied to them for up to seven days for a first offence.
Use of computer facilities to engage in harassment of any type is unacceptable at La Trobe University.

Downloading of Files
Students who are found to be using the University's systems to engage in conduct which infringes copyright – including uploading and downloading files without the permission of the owner of copyright - are exposing themselves and the University to legal action, and will be subject to disciplinary action.
The web is NOT a copyright-free zone. DO NOT assume that you are entitled to download everything you can access on the web. Some material may be on the web without the copyright owner's permission.
DO NOT use University equipment or the computer networks to download, redistribute or copy unauthorized files.
As you may be aware, there are some websites which offer – with the copyright owner's permission - MP3 files or other music formats for free download. The University's computers and network should NOT be used for this purpose. If you want to download or transfer music for any non-academic purpose, this should be done privately, and not on a University-owned computer or through the University's computer network.
Where can I store my documents?
We suggest that you save all of your documents into your own personal file space on drive H:. Drive H: is a very secure and reliable area on the fileserver which is backed up each night onto tape. You can access your document files on drive H: from any computer in the PC Laboratories.
You can easily determine what files are stored in drive H: by clicking on the icon on your desktop.
We recommend that you also use floppy disks as secondary backups and to print your documents at regular intervals in order to maintain hard copies of your work.
Do not store files on drive C:\. These are the internal hard drives of the workstation and they are frequently wiped and re-formatted.
