Helpful advice for using the HSC Computing Center

• Please arrive at least five minutes early to ensure that your class will start on time
• Periodically, changes are made to the configuration of the HSC Computing Centers' computers, so we advise to verify any particular software packages and configurations you need prior to your class. HSC Computing Center staff must receive your request for any special software or configuration needs at least two weeks prior to the class
• Students of the class should know their user id and passwords before class. Account creation requests for students, faculty, and staff are handled by Security and Account Management (asksamit@louisville.edu) and take a minimum of 24 hours to process
• If headphones are needed for the entire class, please have as many students as possible provide their own. The HSC Computing Center can provide only a limited number of headphones. Students must present a valid University of Louisville or state issued photo ID in order to check out the headphones
• Password changes are handled by the HSC Computing Center staff and require a University of Louisville or state issued photo ID in order to process. The class instructor should communicate with HSC Computing Center staff for the best method of handling password changes for five or more students
• During the course of your class please notify the HSC Computing Center staff of any problems, such as technical problems or people in the class being disruptive. Problems cannot be corrected without your help
• Storage space for commonly needed handouts are available at the front of room 229. Copying the handouts are handled through HSC CopyIT
