Honours Centre Acceptable Use Policy
ANU College of Business and Economics
The use of the Honours Centre, room 2100 Copland, is subject to the following acceptable use
policy.
Centre Access
 You can access the Honours Centre during hours specified by the Dean. Initially there will be
24hour access. However, if the facility is abused access may be restricted;
 When the building is secured (1830-0730), please enter through Copland Building Entrance
5. This is the only entrance that will work with your ID Card. You must proceed directly to
the Honours Centre.
 The Centre will be closed from time to time to allow sessions relating to Honours study to be
run. These closures will be notified to students.
 CBE IT can close the Centre at any time for essential maintenance or for security reasons.
 Honours Centre access ends when a student submits their final research based assessment or
completes their final examination. If students cease to be enrolled in Honours courses they
will also lose access immediately.
 You must not provide access to anyone who is not an honours student in ANU College of
Business and Economics.
 You must swipe your ID card when entering the Centre. You must not prop the door open or
override the ID card mechanism.
Appropriate Behaviour
 You must not use the Centre facilities for, or in relation to, behaviour that constitutes sexual
harassment. This includes the gratuitous use, or display of, pictures or objects with sexual
connotations within the University in circumstances in which another person reasonably feels
offended, humiliated or intimidated;
 You must maintain a quiet working environment. Please use headphones when playing
music, and keep conversations quiet. Do not stand in the corridor and talk as several
academics have offices close by.
 The Centre’s resources must not be used for private/non-study related purposes.
Environment
 NO SMOKING at any time.
 NO FOOD or DRINK in the Centre or in the corridors or stairwells adjacent, please use the
CBE Tea room adjacent to the lab.
 Do not leave books or other materials lying around the room – take them with you. Lost
property will be taken to the College Office and collection can be organised via the
Infrastructure contact (below).
 For short term storage of study material, please use shared shelves provided. Note, anything
left behind in the Honours Centre is at the student’s risk.
Printing/Copying
 The College provides a MFD for your use. You need to supply your own paper.
 Each workstation in the lab has the relevant network printer added, Room 2100 Hons Lab
Konica Minolta (Photocopier).
 If the printer is low in toner, please contact CBE IT.

Students must share the facilities. You are not permitted to lock any PC for extended periods
of time. Your session will automatically disconnect if unattended for 30min so others can use
the workstation. This will not log you out, and you will be able to reconnect to the session
from any other available space. After a further 30min of unattended access to the Virtual
Machine, you will be logged out so another student may access the VM.
