Scope of Assistance in the Computer Commons
The Computer Commons endorses independent learning on the part of its users. While we believe
it is the students' responsibility to achieve proficiency in elementary computing and Internet
use, we provide basic assistance if needed.
The Computer Commons also provides over twenty software programs, most of which support
specific departmental and instructional needs. While the Commons staff make an effort to
learn the basic functions of these programs, they cannot be expected to provide users with
in-depth tutorials, especially when the assistance requested is part and parcel of a graded
assignment. The Computer Commons regards the learning of these programs as the students'
responsibility, either on an individual basis or as part of their course work.
We would like to provide some suggestions on having a successful experience in the
Computer Commons, so that we can help you succeed in your endeavors at WCC:
- Show up early. The lab is usually full in the middle of the day.
- Give yourself plenty of time to complete your assignment. We too often hear students
say they have to go right to class and "don't have time" to do this or that.
- Remember that printing is not free. You will need to bring your copy card and make
sure it has enough funding to allow you to print your work. Also, the Library desk on the
first floor can make change.
- No food or drinks are allowed in the lab. Please do not bring your lunch or other
food items into the Computer Commons. The Library also has a no food or drink policy.
- Game Playing, Chatting and Offensive material are STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Please
read WCC's Acceptable Use Policy regarding these matters.
