Names and passwords, for any University account are for you ONLY - NOT friend/housemate/family. (Can be seen as F2P issue)

Heavily used area-Think of others. Printing - Only coursework stuff. Help often available - look before you ask/give up.

(Help functions in programs are often quite, err, helpful…)

Rules

Please read the cluster rules!

Summary:

1. No Food and Drink in the

2. During booked sessions that area is CLOSED- NO EXCEPTIONS!

3. Thought for others

DO NOT! On any university computer or

networkNot going to give you a definitive list

Be aware of what you are doing-will it cause offence?

Should you be paying for it? Be aware that when other students will be

given a small(ish) fine, you may be sent to F2P and/or asked to leave the course.

Couple of points

Do NOT save to the desktop.

The file is lost once you log out.

Documents opened from attachments are NOT saved anywhere you can access.

Do a ‘Save as…’ before you start to work on an emailed attachment.

Carefull!! SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!

You are more likely to recover a document that has been saved earlier

BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP!Be aware that Memory sticks are good for transporting stuff/backups etc BUT,DO NOT HAVE YOUR ONLY COPY ON A MEMORY STICK-THEY CAN, AND DO, BREAK OR GET LOST/MISLAID/STOLEN

Security & Phishing 1

You are NOT going to have won the lottery/ suddenly find rich relatives/ be able to help a widow get her millions out of the country


Be careful what you put on the web-who can see it? (pets names, best friend, Birthday-i.e. Facebook stuff)

Never open an email from someone you don’t know

The Service desk (or Bank etc) will NEVER ask for your password


Be careful of email from your bank/ building society. It might not be them.

NEVER OPEN A LINK FROM AN EMAIL TO AUTHENTIACTE TO A BANK ACCOUNT.

Always log into your bank account by going to the usual home page-type it in to be sure.

This applies to any account you need to keep secure.
