User Policy for Sacramento City College LRC
The Sacramento City College Learning Resource Center (LRC) exists to support the academic goals, cultural pursuits and personal development of students, faculty and staff. Additionally, in keeping with the community college philosophy, the LRC is committed to serving, as much as possible within the constraints of its primary mission, the neighboring community.
The LRC consists of several departments, including Instructional Media/Academic Computing located on the first floor of the LRC building and in Business Building, room B 152 (available solely to Los Rios students); Distance Education, Instructional Development, Learning Skills &
Tutoring Center and the Writing Center also located on the first floor; and the Library, which is located on the second and third floors of the LRC building.
This user policy has been created to further the mission of the LRC and ensure that the resources of the LRC are accessible to all of our patrons.
I. Computer Use Policy:
The primary reason for Internet access in the Learning Resource Center is to provide information resources to support and enhance student academic success. Use of the computers in the LRC is a privilege, not a right. The mission of the LRC is to provide an atmosphere conducive to constructive learning, academic freedom and proper asset management. In order to meet this objective, each user is responsible for use of the electronic resources in an effective, efficient, ethical and lawful manner.

By using the computer labs in LR 144 and B 152, users are acknowledging and agreeing to video, audio and other electronic monitoring and recording of their activities in the lab and on the computer. They are also acknowledging that all computers in these labs may be managed by remote control.
Although there is no time limit on how long users may stay at a computer station, users should not leave their stations unattended for more than 10 minutes. If a user leaves a station unattended for more than 10 minutes, the on-duty lab personnel have the right to log out their station and make it available for the next user waiting in line. Any unattended belongings will be treated as lost and found items.
