Digital Media Lab Policies:
- Make sure to save your work before your scheduled time is up, so you don’t cut into the next reservation.
- Save your files in your own Onyen folder. You have to be logged in with your Onyen to access your folder on Media Storage.
- Remember where you save your files so that you can find them when you return.
- Please do not save more than one copy of your work.
- The MDC does not provide storage media, so when you are done editing and you want to burn a DVD or copy your work to a flash drive, you will need to bring your own. DVD-R’s, CD-R’s, and flash drives are available for purchase at student stores.
Things to Note:
- Food and drinks aren’t allowed in the Media lab.
- Do not download or install any software onto the computers. If you need something that is not available on a computer, speak to a lab attendant.
- Most recorded media are protected by copyright. Copying any copyrighted work that does not qualify under Fair Use will be considered an honor code violation.
- Do not delete, peek at, or do anything else to a project if you did not create it. This will be considered an honor code violation.
- Use headphones if you want to rock out, other people are working around you.
- Running a little late? No problem, we’ll hold the spot you reserved for 15 minutes. But after that, it’s up for grabs.
