CSL End of Semester Announcements

INSTRUCTIONAL ACCOUNTS

As the end of the Spring semester approaches, many students have asked
the Systems Lab about their CS instructional accounts. Here is some
important information about the end of the semester:

    * CS and Statistics instructional accounts (accounts created
      explicitly for students taking CS or Statistics courses) will
      remain active until the course add deadline for the Fall Semester.

    * If you register for a CS or Statistics class for the Summer or
      Fall semester, your account from the Spring semester will remain
      active (with disk and paper quota adjustments). Initial course
      paper quotas from the Spring semester (paper that you did not
      purchase) will be removed shortly after May 19. Remaining paper
      that you purchased will be carried over for future use.

    * Accounts of declared undergraduate CS majors will remain active.

    * New CS Majors will be added or have their account status changed
      based on data we recieve from the registrar after exams, once a
      week during summer session, every day during the first two weeks
      of classes in the Fall, and once a week during the Fall semester.

    * Special instructional accounts (accounts given to specific
      students for course projects on computers other than the
      instructional workstations) will be removed after May 19. If you
      need to keep your special instructional account, you MUST have
      your faculty member request an extension on or before May 19.

    * If you are continuing your course work or project you MUST have
      received a grade of "Incomplete" to otherwise retain your
      instructional account and course-related resources. Your
      instructor MUST report the incomplete to the lab on or before May 19.

    * New CS alumni -- students graduating at the end of this semester
      can request an Alumni Account <alumni.html>.
      *Note: You must request an alumni account before the end of exams
      in the semester in which you graduate. *

    * Your use of the CS instructional facilities must be in accordance
      with the CSL Policies on Instructional Computing In particular,
      you may not use your account for any commercial activities nor for
      class work or formal research projects outside the CS department.
      Requests for additional resources or support for non-course work
      will be rejected.
