G.R.I.D. Lab Usage Policies
Last revision November 25, 2008
- Availability
-
The G.R.I.D. lab is available only for students and faculty affiliated with
the School of Earth Sciences. The room is always available and cannot
be scheduled for private classes or sessions.
- Plotter Billing
-
The charge for plotting is $1 per square foot of paper used.
Charges to your account are billed monthly.
-
The G.R.I.D. plotters are available at the user's discretion - the
facility is not a print center and problems or unexpected results are
often encountered. The nominal fee is simply to offset costs of paper
and ink and does not pay for equipment or management.
You are responsible for all plots released and paper used.
-
If there are problems with a plot, such as the paper ran out or the
size was wrong, email
the G.R.I.D. lab managers
explaining the problem, the time and day of the plot, the computer
used, and how much paper actually came out. The Lab Manager will verify
that information has been recorded correctly in the database so that
you don't get charged for paper not used.
- Data storage
-
Data can be stored on the local "scratch" disk partition of the
computers for reasonable lengths of time.
These disks will be erased at least once per year, generally in the fall,
to make room for new projects.
If you store data on a computer, please make sure it is in a folder
labeled with your SUnet ID. This will allow us to contact you if
something needs to be done to the computer.
