Internet Acceptable Use Policy

The computers within the MACCLab have been placed here for specific purposes. Each computer has specific software installed for the needs of that space and the devices it is connected to. These computers are not to be used for any other actions. Though they must be connected to the internet and school network for operation, members must not use them for internet searches or social media. The only exception to this is the 4 computers at the CAD Station may be used for internet searches specifically related to member projects.

MACCLab encourages the use of information technology resources to support the College mission and that of the makerspace. Computing resources are available to all members.
