Rules for AstroLab Computing

These rules are in addition to the CIS' Regulations and Code of Conduct. Misuse of the University's computer facilities (including those provided for the Astrolab) is a serious offence.

  • The AstroLab computers must only be used for AstroLab project work; they are not a general physics computer resource. For example, the AstroLab printer should not be used for the production of essays etc.

  • The AstroLab computers should not be used for web access that is not related to AstroLab project work, e.g. downloading MP3s, surfing eBay, Facebook, YouTube, etc. Access to the web is provided via a private internal firewall. Misuse of web access may result in only a very restricted set of site addresses being available from the AstroLab computers.

  • On the AstroLab computers, files must only be created in folders/directories with sensible names for your project.

  • Do not install illegal software on the AstroLab computers

  • Do not steal any software from the AstroLab computers.

  • Do not use Astrolab computers to play games.
