Lab Rules
In order to use the
McCombs School of Business computer labs, you must be a declared
business major, or enrolled in at least business class with an
associated technology fee. If you are having trouble accessing our
labs, please see our FAQ
or ask one of our lab consultants for help.
The McCombs Computer Labs are
available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please respect your fellow
students and be quiet so as not to disturb your neighbors. Please also refrain
from touching the monitors.
You should also be aware of the
Security and Policy Governing Information Technology at UT.

Both can damage our computers. Please respect the cleanliness of our labs
and help us maintain the high standards of quality that we offer.
There are cubicles located outside of the Millennium Lab and both sides of
the MOD Lab for drink and food storage while you use the lab.

Those business students who wish
to use the
Reliant Productivity Center
may bring bottled water (and only bottled water), but please bear in mind
you do this at risk to your laptop and we can not be held responsible for
any damage.

Your Account and Password:
|
|
- In order to use the computer labs, you must
have a valid McCombs WINNT account. This account is automatically generated
for business students and students currently enrolled in at least one
business course with an associated technology fee. Please speak with a
consultant in the Millennium Lab (CBA 5.322) in order to find out your
account information.
- Your IF account may be used by you and only
you. Please do not share your account with anyone else. Your account will be
disabled if you do so. Do not give your password out to anyone.
The lab staff will never ask you for your password.
- The McCombs School of Business has implemented
a new, more secure password policy to help guard against the risk of someone
breaking into your account. When changing your password, please keep in mind
that the system keeps a record of your password changes. You cannot
replicate a password used previously (within the past 10 password changes).
The system will also not let you use identifying information within your
password, such as your name or your username. The "Complex Password Policy"
requires that your password be eight (8) characters in length, and include
at least three (3) elements from the following list:
- lowercase letters
- UPPERCASE LETTERS
- Numbers (0-9)
- Special characters (!,@,#,$, etc.)
- Please do not use more than one machine at a
time in the lab. This will result in your account being disabled.

Hardware and Software:
|
|
|
- Do not tamper with the machines, reboot them,
or shut them off for any reason. Do not disconnect the machines from the
network for any reason. If you encounter any problems with the machine you
are using, please visit our online help desk or see the lab consultants
immediately. This is the best way to prevent data loss or profile
corruption.
- Students are not permitted to install software
on lab machines. Only authorized CBACC personnel may install software.
- Illegal copying of software is not permitted
and will result in loss of account privileges.
