Learning Center Rules
The Learning Center now consists of TRiO and the Academic Readiness Center
(ARC) located in the TRiO/ARC building. It is important for this area to have an
environment that is conducive to learning. Those who visit the Learning Center
are expected to maintain that learning environment; therefore, the following will
be expected of all while in the Learning Center:
1. Noise will be kept to a minimum to allow for students who are studying.
2. No tobacco products of any kind.
3. No children will be allowed in the Learning Center if they disrupt students
from concentrating on their studies.
4. The display or printing of obscene material on lab computers is a Class C
misdemeanor of the Texas Penal Code and will not be tolerated. Offenders
are subject to prosecution, possible fines, and forfeiture of lab privileges.
Rules Specific to the ARC
The purpose of the ARC is to provide a learning environment along with
educational computer use, support utilizing computer resources, and tutoring,
including the Writing Coach, Derrick Cummings. All students in the ARC will be
required to maintain this learning environment and to follow all rules of the
Learning Center and the rules specific to the ARC area:
1. The computers are for educational purposes only. Sites such as Facebook,
MySpace, Instant Messenger, etc., are not acceptable.
2. Cell phones should be on silent or vibrate. If a call comes in, leave the
Learning Center to answer it.
3. All students must sign in through the AccuTrack with a current student ID
card, and students must sign out when they leave.
If the above rules are not followed, one warning will be given. On the second
offense, the student will be asked to leave.
