Visualization Laboratory Policies

These are a few basic policies of the Visualization Laboratory to ensure smooth operation of the lab for all users. We will do our best to accommodate any unusual needs. For further details, contact Darren Stevenson or read the Visualization Laboratory General Information page.

• Keycards are not to be shared. Each Visualization Laboratory user must be independently registered.
• Sharing of any keycards issued or admitting non-registered users into the Visualization Laboratory is grounds for terminating access to the Visualization Laboratory for current registered users.
• Guests are welcome in the Visualization Laboratory if accompanied by a registered user.  The guest should not use any of the Visualization Laboratory equipment personally.
• Consultants are available during the hours posted on the consultant schedule. Outside of these hours special arrangements should be made.
• No equipment, manuals, or other items should be removed from the Visualization Laboratory without prior consent of the ITG staff.  Please see the equipment page for more information on what is available for checkout.
• Users should not move, rewire or reconfigure ANY Visualization Laboratory equipment (including Audio/Visual).  Failure to follow this guideline will result in the permanent removal from the Visualization Laboratory. If you need a different configuration than is required, see a consultant or email Visualization Laboratory.
• Users are not to install software on any computer. Ask a consultant for help if you need access to a particular package: we try to accommodate all software needs.
• The Visualization Laboratory supports university-related and sponsored projects only.  Projects related to class, major, and/or degree requirements qualify as university-related. 
• Users are responsible for all 3D printing material costs, even when the resulting print is not what was expected. The only exception to this is when the resulting print is in error due to an equipment malfunction or staff mistake. ITG is not responsible for failed prints due to model problems.
• All University policies apply in the Visualization Laboratory.
