It is located in Building 14, Level 9, Room 23. If and only if this laboratory is fully utilised, then students may occasionally use any of the laboratories in Building 14 on levels 9 and 10 or Building 10 on levels 9, 10 and 11, provided that there is no scheduled class taking place. When in doubt, consult the city timetable at http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/timetables/. See also “Timetables” on page 102. For complete Rules of Use information see http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/rules/. Basically, students are not permitted to eat or drink or have discussions in the laboratory. The Technical Services Group in the University will suspend a student’s computer account if they are caught eating or drinking in the laboratory. In addition, students should not use mobile phones in laboratories and should always speak quietly. If students need to conduct conversations then they should do so in the common room (see “Common Room” on page 77) and not the laboratory. There is one in the Floyd laboratory.

These sessions are held in weeks 1, 2 and 3 although you should undertake at least 3 sessions in total prior to attending your first tutorial or lab classes. In your three sessions you should cover: • Checking that your accounts are active and changing your passwords • Allocating yourself to tutorials and labs • Using the Unix operating system, commands, printing from Unix • Effective Web Use - EMS email, timetables, courseguides, making appointments with staff members and more You can register for sessions via the Computer Science homepage at http:// www.rmit.edu.au/csit. As part of your enrolment process you will be asked to register for these sessions. Other workshops on offer for new students can be seen via the link above and include: • Skills for new programmers • Solution Design / Architecture Workshops • Academic Integrity: understanding and skills for CS&IT students • Interview and resume writing skills 89
