Booking computer sessions
Each drop in computer booking lasts for 2 hours. You
can see how much time remains by checking the clock at the bottom
of your screen. You will also be given a warning before
your session is due to end. Please ensure that you
save your work regularly to a memory stick to avoid loss of
work.
You can book a computer up to 7 days in advance. Bookings can be
made at the Reception desk. To ensure fairness to all
students, if you turn up late for your session or
if you leave your computer idle for more than 15 minutes
you will lose your booking.
For health and safety reasons, you may only book a
further computer session after 30 minutes has
elapsed.

Saving your work
You will need to save your work either to a memory stick or
other external device at regular intervals during the
session. You can also save your work to a network space which
is available via your College email account.
Work saved to the desktop will be lost when either your session
ends or the computer is logged off.

For black and white printing select the laser printer for your
area.
For colour printing use the "Find Printer" button to set your
printer to *pull* prints and select "safecom". Your printing
will only be released when you login to one of the large
