The lab gets busy; it is your responsibility to schedule your time accordingly to complete your coursework before the end of the semester.  Each unit requires 18 hours.  Students are allowed a maximum of 3 units per semester.

Students will be given a timesheet and syllabus and will be required to sign in and out of the lab.  Signing others in or out of the lab is considered cheating and will not be tolerated.  It is your responsibility to sign in and out.  Students who fail to sign out of the lab will not receive credit for that time.

The Reading Center has a local network with 25 computers and does not have Internet access.  This is a study environment and silence in enforced.
