Computer Classroom & Lab-Use Procedures

All computer resources are the property of SUNY Plattsburgh. We require users of the college’s computer classroom and lab services to observe certain rules, regulations and standards of etiquette. Computer-use privileges are limited to currently registered students of SUNY Plattsburgh, SUNY Plattsburgh faculty and staff and to Clinton Community College students who have paid the Educational Technology Fee.

Below you will find an overview of the main procedures and guidelines for usage and conduct. Please note that the listing is not a comprehensive listing. More information can be found in our Responsible Use of Technology Resources Policy.
